Partons Win at Kalamazoo, 4-2
The Dollywood Partons beat the Kalamazoo Comets, 4-2. Dollywood pitcher and Carson City, Nevada, native Gilberto Cortez led the way. In 7 innings, Cortez surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 0. He allowed 2 runs. The first-place Partons, at 83-27, now lead their division by 24½ games.

Dollywood took a 3-2 lead on Justin Teehan's 11th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Teehan hit in the top of the seventh, left Kalamazoo pitcher Michael Brumfield visibly frustrated.

Dollywood manager Adam Freeman praised his team's "businesslike approach."
