GAME ONE: The Comets wasted little time against the Kensington Royals. They showed their Franklin Division competitors they were an offense to not be taken lightly. The fifth year man Adam Goldstein gave up baby duties for another Sunday and put the good guys out in from with his first inning Grand Slam. It was his third career home run, all leading to a 10-7 win.
Brian Chernuta drove in his first run as a Comet and the Andrews - Dean, Napoli, and Marcus - combined for five of the team's 10 hits. The run support was all in favor of ace Phil Motley, who went the distance for the third straight start, and improved his record to 3-1 on the season.
GAME TWO: The Royals pitched their ace in lefty Russel Kessinger, but the Comets battled him. He walked seven and threw well over 100 pitches. The Comets approach at the plate forced them to go to the bullpen in the seventh inning.
There the Comets crawled within one run, but the 5-4 loss made it 5 one-run losses this season. Gavin White had two hits and two RBIs in the loss. Clancy Philbrick was the hard-luck loser as the defense behind him made two untimely errors to allow the Royals a decisive four run inning.
The Comets are off for Week Seven and Memorial Day and then back in action against the Colts on May 31st at Villanova Ballpark in Plymouth.
***CLIMBING THE RECORD BOOKS
Gavin White is four hits away from 150 career hits, which would put him 5th on the GPMABL All-Time hit list.
