White Deer parlayed a decent outing from starter Jake Fish into a solid win over the Kalamazoo Comets. The final score was 3-2. The winner in relief was Troy Zufelt. He is now 7-3. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. With this game in the books, White Deer is 73-58, Kalamazoo 55-76.

Mike Henschel drew 1 walk for White Deer. With one out and the game tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, Henschel, who is tied for 7th in the S-A in bases on balls with 70, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Kalamazoo hurler Jim Unknown, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Tropics a 3-2 lead.

"We came out on the wrong end of this one," said Kalamazoo skipper Morgan Van Dyke.
