Flanders Hits Two Homers in 10-4 Win for White Deer
The White Deer Tropics beat the Kalamazoo Comets, 10-4, at Wizards Stadium. Matt Flanders, in particular, was impressive. He went 3-4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The winning pitcher was Bernie Rodriguez. His record now stands at 3-4. The right-hander went 6.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 5 hits for the Tropics. White Deer is second in the Southern A West Division with a record of 72-58.

White Deer got a big at-bat from North Snyderville Basin, Utah native Dante Kimble, who in the top of the fifth hit a grand slam home run. It was his 8th home run of the season and put the Tropics ahead, 10-1.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said White Deer manager Wil Olivares.
