Benitez Powers Comets to 7-1 Win
Max Benitez was a vital contributor to the 7-1 Kalamazoo victory over Long Beach. The Comets second baseman went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times. The Comets go to 17-23, putting them 4th in the Southern A East Division.

Kalamazoo catcher Angel Vargas contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the first. With two down, he hit a knuckle curve to right-center field for a 2-run single. It was his 13th hit of the season and put the Comets ahead, 3-0.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Vargas.
