WEEK TWO: Comets take two tough-luck losses against Angels

GAME ONE:  Phil Motley was up to his old tricks at Germantown Academy and the Comets held a 3-1 lead after six innings. Motley scattered four hits and struck out four in the no decision. However a few balls bounced the wrong way in the seventh innings and the Angels tied the game. The Angels grabbed a 4-3 win in eight innings and as the Comets were held hitless over the last four innings by Matt Kalos. Clancy Philbrick had his first career base hit with Comets in the loss.

GAME TWO:  Philbrick took the ball in game two and was cruising through the first three innings as the Angels did not record a hit the first time around their lineup. While the Angels broke through with a nine-run fourth inning, the Comets showed they never quit with nine runs of their own in the top of fifth inning. The Comets received a two-run double from Andrew Dean in the last inning to bring the Comets within one run, but were unable to get that one more clutch hit needed and fell 13-12. Gavin White had a pair of RBIs and a pair of doubles in the loss.

The Comets will look to rebound at Germantown Academy next week against the Colt .45s.
