CRESCO — The Charles City Comets bounced back from an extra-inning loss in the first game of Tuesday’s Northeast Iowa Conference baseball doubleheader against hosting Crestwood to convincingly win the nightcap and leave town with a split.
The Comets now have an overall record of 11-9 while also remaining above .500 in the NEIC (8-7).
In the second-game, Charles City jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first inning and led 9-0 after three full innings before winning, 12-6.

In the first game, the Comets took a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth before the Cadets tied it in the latter part of the frame and then went up 3-2 in the fifth.
Charles City tied it in the sixth when Tait Arndt singled in Cajthaml who led off the inning with a double.
With two outs in the top of the seventh, Reams and Salinas singled in order before Cajthaml drew a walk to load the bases.
But the Cadets got out of the jam.
Later in the bottom of the ninth, Crestwood loaded the bases with no outs before Hunter Bye hit the walk-off RBI single in the 4-3 final.
