Kalamazoo first baseman Nick Nicholson had a 4-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Long Beach Keys, 12-6. Kalamazoo reliever Justin Tarin picked up the win, raising his record to 6-3. Edgar Ramirez was tagged with the loss. Kalamazoo, with the win, sits at 39-99.

Kalamazoo used a timely hit from Mike Ortiz to get the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Comets ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Glad to get this win," said Nicholson. "But we need to keep playing at a high level."
