The Crestwood Comets and North Pocono Trojans traveled to PNC Field for the District 2 5A Championship. The Comets have come in with a seven game winning streak. The Trojans have come in winning eight in a row. The Comets went to Corey Chalk on the mound. The Trojans went to Ryan Deom.
Colin Macko would draw a one out walk but a popout and a strikeout would end the inning. Chalk would throw a 1-2-3 first inning for the Comets. Chalk would get by a pitch with one out but a strikeout and a popout to third would end the top of the second. Chalk would throw his second straight 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the second. Brett Caladie and Macko would each draw one out walks but back-to-back popups would end the threat. Chalk threw another 1-2-3 inning in the third. Deom would throw a 1-2-3 top of the fourth for the Trojans. Dan Walsh would get it by a pitch with one out and would steal second and then Deom would single him home for a 1-0 North Pocono lead. A 5-4-3 double play would get the Comets out of the inning. Evan Knapp would hit an infield single then Matt Taleroski would bunt him over to second. Brett Caladie would hit a single that moved Knapp to third but would score when the plate wasn't covered to tie the game at 1. Macko would be intentionally walked. The runners would advance to second and third on a wild pitch. Caladie would be out at home on a fielder's choice and a flyout would end the top of the fifth inning. Nate McLain would hit a double then Kyle Bosley would single him home for a 2-1 Trojans lead. Chalk would retire the next three batters. Cory Wall would come in to pitch for North Pocono. Pinch hitter Mick Bafunno would hit a single then steal second. After a strikeout, Evan Knapp would hit a single to score Bafunno to tie the game at two. A strikeout would end the top of the sixth. Deom would draw a two out walk then Wall would reach on an error. McLain would then hit a double to right to score Deom and Wall for a 4-2 Trojans lead. Brad Papura would come in to pitch for the Comets and would get a strikeout to end the sixth. Wall would throw a 1-2-3 seventh as the Trojans would take the District 2 5A Championship with a 4-2 victory over the Crestwood Comets.
Thoughts on the game: It was a really good game by both teams. Congrats to North Pocono on winning the 5A District 2 Championship. It is their second District title in three years. Nate McClain had a great game at the plate, going 2 for 3 with the tiebreaking double in the sixth to give the Trojans the lead for good. For the Comets, Corey Chalk pitched a great game, going 5.2 innings and holding them to two runs until the sixth.
