Getting a good performance from designated hitter Oscar de Leon, the Dollywood Partons defeated the Kalamazoo Comets, 10-1. de Leon went 3-3 with 3 singles and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Partons. The winning pitcher was Chris Welch. His record now stands at 2-2. The left-hander went 5.1 innings, allowing no runs on 3 hits for the Partons. The Southern A East Division-leading Partons have a record of 68-25.

Pedro Recinos had a big 2-run triple for the Partons in the bottom of the first inning. With Dollywood leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from 23-year old right-handed pitcher Chris Gonzalez and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 4th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Partons ahead, 4-0.

"We can't expect to win," said Kalamazoo manager Sam Furfari, "when we play like that."
