Comets Edge Past Aggies, 5-4
Wizards Stadium did not lack for drama.

The Kalamazoo Comets defeated the Atlanta Aggies, 5-4, in part because of right fielder Chad Nilsen. Nilsen was 2 for 2 with 2 singles and 3 walks, while scoring 2 runs for the Comets. The win went to Jim Unknown in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jim Unknown took the loss.

The decisive blow was delivered by Max Benitez in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 21-year old right-handed pitcher Jim Unknown to win the game for Kalamazoo. The home crowd went nuts.

"The house was rockin'," said Nilsen.

The Comets go to 47-70 with the win.
