Grade A as Valley West tops Crestwood

The Wyoming Valley West Spartans traveled to Mountain Top's Veterans Field as they took on the Crestwood Comets. Both teams are undefeated on the season in league play. Valley West would send Pat Adamski to the mound. Crestwood would start Evan Knapp on the mound.
 Draig Ruff would draw a one out walk but a groundout and a strikeout would end the top half of the first. Adamski would throw a 1-2-3 first inning. Tommy Federici would draw a two out walk then Stephen Banas would hit a double that would score Federici for a 1-0 Valley West lead. A fielder's choice would end the inning. Adamski would throw another 1-2-3 inning in the second. Jake Packer would draw a two out walk but a groundout would end the third. Mick Bafunno would lead off with a single then Matt Taleroski would bunt him over to second but back-to-back strikeouts would end the third. Nate Baranski would draw a leadoff walk then Federici would bunt him over to second. Stephen Banas would do it again as he doubled home Baranski for a 2-0 lead. Zach Kobusky would follow with a double to score courtesy runner Josh Payne for a 3-0 Spartans lead. Colby Jones would come in to pitch for the Comets. Tyler Okane would bring home Kobusky for the 4-0 advantage. After a groundout, an error would cause Okane to score for the 5-0 lead. A grounder would end the inning. Colin Macko would draw a leadoff walk then Justin Darden would follow with a walk. Macko would steal third after a strikeout. Mike Palmiero would drive home with a single to cut the lead to 5-1. After a strikeout, Jones would draw a walk to load the bases but Adamski's seventh strikeout would end the fourth. Jones would throw a 1-2-3 fifth for the Comets. Brett Caladie would hit a one out single then Macko drew a walk but back to back strikeouts would end the fifth. Ruff would hit a two out single but a strikeout would end the Spartans half of the sixth. Adamski would throw a 1-2-3 sixth for Valley West. Connor Kaminski would come in to pitch for the Comets. Packer would lead off by getting hit by a pitch then Michael Kane would bunt Packer to second then Baranski would single home Packer for a 6-1 lead. Back-to-back strikeouts would end the top of the seventh. Adamski would finish his day with his 13th strikeout as he reached the pitch limit and Zach Kobusky would come in to pitch for Valley West. Kobusky would get a groundout and a flyout as the Spartans took down Crestwood 6-1 as the Spartans improved to 2-0. The Comets dropped to 2-1 on the season.

Thoughts on the game: Valley West's Pat Adamski had a great game on the mound as he struck out 13 and gave up one run on three hits. Stephen Banas had a great game at the plate as he hit two doubles. For Crestwood, Mike Palmiero had an RBI single and Colby Jones pitched well in relief for the Comets.
