GAME ONE: Make it four losses now for the Comets this season. Besides the game when they lost their starting pitcher to an injury in the first inning they have held a lead in the late innings of every game and could make a strong case for being 5-1 this season.
But instead the new-look Comets stand at 3-5 after a 6-5 loss to the Irish as they scored two in the seventh inning to rally past Phil Motley. Motley once again was strong the mound, limiting the big inning and giving his offense every chance to capitalize.
Matt Gionta and Andrew Marcus scored on a Gavin White fielder choice in the inning and White and Matt Allen would come around in the sixth inning after Allen and Andrew Napoli doubles.
GAME TWO: Gavin White did his best to swing momentum in the Comets favor, but it just was not enough. His first inning home-run got things going and he pitched a solid last two innings in relief, but to no prevail.
Clancy Philbrick battled through five innings and gave the Comets every chance to earn the series split. Matt Gionta had a big RBI double in the sixth inning to square things up at six runs a piece before the Irish pushed one across in the seventh inning.
