Blackbirds Lose at Home, 8-3, to Kokomo
A 3-RBI performance from Elmer Smith, who is tied for 8th in the ARN in RBI with 91, helped the Kokomo Jackrabbits beat the Erie Blackbirds, 8-3. Shawn Chacon picked up the win, improving his season record to 3-3. He struck out 4 in 6.1 innings. Kokomo has won 6 straight games.

Kokomo needed the clutch hitting of Felix Jose to notch the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Jackrabbits on top, 4-3. For the game, Jose had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We came out aggressive," said Jackrabbits manager Kyle Thomson. "We came out swinging the bats."
