Charlie Beutter, Brian Rogers and Erich Biggart each hit a home run for the Comets in the first game. Bobby Edelberg, Boven, Beutter and Vawter all hit doubles as well.
Zach Bennett earned his first pitching victory for Brandywine in the second game. He gave up just four hits.
Josh Atwood and Andy Low each homered for the Bobcats in the nightcap with Low's homer proving to be the game-winner. Matt Koller added two hits while Billy Syrette hit a double and had three RBIs. Carpenter and Casey Udell each had two RBIs.
