Hickey contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Lake Elsinore in the bottom of the second. With his team trailing 3-1, Hickey took a curveball from Jim Unknown and stroked the home run to right. His 15th home run of the season allowed the Storm to leap in front, 5-3.

"We're in a little bit of a dry spell," said Kalamazoo manager Morgan Van Dyke.
