Sweepers Pull Out Late Win, 9-8
The Kalamazoo Comets could not turn a fine performance from designated hitter Chad Nilsen into a win. Instead, the Nashua Sweepers prevailed, 9-8. Nilsen went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 runs. Nashua reliever Matt Gardner picked up the win. Tomas Herrera took the loss for Kalamazoo. Picking up the save was Glen Foster. He's now 26 for 28 in save chances.

Nashua took the lead, 9-7, on Malcolm McKechnie's 30th double of the season. The 2-run double, which McKechnie hit in the bottom of the eighth, made Kalamazoo pitcher Tomas Herrera wince.

"Baseball is about momentum," said McKechnie, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."

With the win, the Sweepers have a record of 59-50.
