10-7 Lumberjacks Win over Comets Evens Season Record
Jesse Gillespie powered the Bangor Lumberjacks to a win over the Kalamazoo Comets. The final score was 10-7. The Bangor shortstop was a force to be reckoned with. He banged out 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. With the victory, the Lumberjacks record stands at 70-70.

With Bangor leading 6-4 in the bottom of the fourth, Gillespie came up to bat against Kalamazoo pitcher Stuart Blankenship. Gillespie hit a fastball to left for a grand slam home run. His 8th home run of the season put the Lumberjacks on top, 10-4.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Gillespie told the Bangor Today. "It's as simple as that."
