Garcia Leads Kalamazoo to 9-3 Win with 3 Jacks
The Kalamazoo Comets topped the Lake Elsinore Storm, 9-3, with youngster Miguel Garcia playing a key role. Garcia hit 3 home runs, while adding 7 RBI and scoring three times for the Comets in the win. The win puts Kalamazoo at 34-65.

Matt Leith had a big 2-run home run for the Comets in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Kalamazoo trailing 3-2 and a runner on 2nd, he got a sinker from Manny Padilla and swatted a home run to left-center. It was his 6th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Comets ahead, 4-3.

"We came out aggressive," said Comets manager Morgan Van Dyke. "We came out swinging the bats."
