The timely hitting of Kevin Hilfiker helped the Kalamazoo Comets down the Lake Elsinore Storm, 8-5. Hilfiker was 1-1 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Comets. Kalamazoo, now 48-59, holds down 5th place in the Southern A East Division.

The game came to a dramatic end. In the bottom of the ninth, with Kalamazoo trailing 5-4, Hilfiker hit a fastball from Jim Unknown for a grand slam home run, giving the Comets the walk-off win.

"It was bedlam at the end," Hilfiker said.
