The Crestwood Comets traveled to Tunkhannock to take on the Tigers. The Comets are looking to break a two game league losing streak. The Tigers are looking for their second straight victory. Matt Goodwin got the start for the Tigers. Corey Chalk got the ball for the Comets.

 Brett Caladie led off the game with a walk and would get to third on a throwing error but Goodwin would strike out the side to keep it scoreless. Denny Robinson led off the bottom of the first with a double for the Tigers. Robinson would get to third with a sacrifice bunt by Tyler Faux but a popout and a groundout would end the first inning. Corey Chalk and Stew Caladie would draw two out walk but a flyout would end the Top of the second. Goodwin would hit a single and Connor Munley would follow with a double and Goodwin's courtesy runner would score after Crestwood missed the cutoff for a 1-0 Tigers lead. A fielder's choice and a strikeout would end the inning. Colin Macko would draw a one out walk but a strikeout and a groundout would keep the Comets off the scoreboard. Tyler Faux would reach on an error then get to second on a errant pickoff and got to third when the ball was bobbled on the tag. Dylan Mislevy would bring home Faux on a sacrifice fly to left for a 2-0 Tunkhannock lead. David Baltrusaitis would reach on an error but a flyout would end the third inning. Mike Palmiero would draw a leadoff walk then Mick Bafunno would single to move Palmiero to second. Corey Chalk would move them over with a sacrifice bunt then Stew Caladie would hit a fly ball to center to score Palmiero to cut the lead to 2-1 but the Tigers would get the runner going to third for the final out of the top of the fourth. Chalk would throw a 1-2-3 fourth inning for the Comets. Brett Caladie would draw a one out walk then Macko would hit a double to move Caladie to third then Justin Darden would hit a fly ball to center to score Caladie to tie the game at 2. A groundout would end the Top of the fifth. Chalk would throw another 1-2-3 fifth. Highlighted by Brett Caladie making a leaping catch for the third out. Don Faux would come in to pitch for the Tigers. Palmiero would hit a double but would end up caught stealing. After a flyout, Chalk would reach on an error then pinch hitter Brandon Brozena would hit a single. A fielder's choice would end the inning on a nice play by third baseman Matt Goodwin who entered the game at third after pitching five inning. Baltrusaitis would hit a double then Nick Reposa would follow with a double to score Baltrusaitis for a 3-2 Tigers lead. Wyatt Kindler came in to pitch for the Comets. Matt Goodwin would bring home Reposa for a 4-2 Tunkhannock lead. Connor Munley would hit a single and get to third on an error scoring Goodwin for the 5-2 lead. After a strikeout, DeMarco would draw a walk. Connor Kaminski would come in to pitch for the Comets and would get a strikeout to end the sixth. Nick Reposa would come in for the save for the Tigers. Brett Caladie would draw a leadoff walk then Macko would hit a single. Both runners would move one base on a passed ball. Darden would bring home Caladie on an RBI groundout to cut the lead to 5-3. A flyout and a lineout would end the game as the Tigers took the victory 5-3 over the Crestwood Comets. 

Thoughts on the game: Pretty good game by the Tigers. They hit four doubles on the game, two in the sixth that determined the game. Matt Goodwin had a good game at the plate. Going 2 for 3 with two runs scored and plating the eventual winning run. For the Comets, Justin Darden had a good game with 2 RBIs.
