Comets Beat Keys, 5-2
The Kalamazoo Comets picked up a win at Wizards Stadium, knocking off the Long Beach Keys, 5-2. Starting pitcher Mike Gunter was a big reason why. Gunter, the winner, moves to 3-3. He threw 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 4 walks. After today's action, Kalamazoo sits at 30-76; Long Beach slips to 37-69.

The Keys had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Comets going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old left fielder Travis Hammen came to the plate. Hammen hit a bases-clearing double on a 1-1 fastball from Long Beach hurler Andrew Braden. It was Hammen's 10th double of the year.

"Nice to get this one," said Hammen. "We've been scuffling."
