Comets Trip Storm, 9-5
Alfredo Cruz did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Lake Elsinore Storm from being beaten, 9-5, to the Kalamazoo Comets at Wizards Stadium. Cruz was 2-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The 5th-place Comets sport a record of 47-59.

Brian LaFollett had a big solo home run for the Comets in the bottom of the third inning. With Kalamazoo leading 6-5 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from 22-year old right-handed pitcher Jose Guzman and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Comets on top, 7-5.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said LaFollett, "one at-bat at a time."
