KALAMAZOO COMETS AT LONG BEACH KEYS
GAME ID: 8831 - TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH , 2026 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Kalamazoo Comets (39-100) 0 1 0 1 0 1 2 0 0 5 9 3
Long Beach Keys (51-88) 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 X 7 8 1
Comets Clipped, 7-5
The Kalamazoo Comets got a superb performance from pitcher Chris Gonzalez, but the Long Beach Keys still won the game, 7-5. Gonzalez threw 5.0 innings of 2-hit ball. The Keys saw their win-loss record go to 51-88. At the same time, the Comets fell to 39-100.

Had Tom Knight not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Knight hit a grand slam home run. That made the score 7-5, in favor of the Keys.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Knight, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
