Kalamazoo Loses, 8-6, to Pueblo in 10
The Pueblo Heroes needed 10 innings to defeat the Kalamazoo Comets, 8-6, at Wizards Stadium. Pueblo designated hitter Dillon O'Neill had a superb performance. He was 1 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Pueblo pitcher Matt Wilken earned the win, hiking his record to 2-1. Jason Eppert suffered the loss. Kalamazoo drops to 7-13.

Pueblo used the timely hitting of Jeff Hammons to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Heroes on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Jeremiah Simpson said.
