Thoughts on the game: What a comeback by the Crestwood Comets. Down 4-0 with a pitcher throwing a no-hitter through four innings. Matt Dean had a great game on the mound and at the plate. On the mound, he went four innings in the relief, giving up one run, striking out five and walking one. At the plate, he started the rally in the sixth with a single that would tie the game up. Stew Caladie also had a good game with 2 RBIs on the day. For Tunkhannock, David Baltrusaitis had a great game with a two run home run as did Nick Reposa who started the scoring with a two RBI single.
