Kalamazoo Defeats Atlanta, 5-4
In a tight contest at Aggies Ballpark, the Kalamazoo Comets edged the Atlanta Aggies by the score of 5-4. Kalamazoo second baseman Bruce Frett, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. Atlanta is in the throes of a long losing streak, which is now 13 games.

It could have been a different outcome for Kalamazoo, had it not been for Luis Rodriguez, the 24-year old right fielder . Rodriguez contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put Kalamazoo up, 3-0.

Rodriguez told the Kalamazoo News: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."
