Comets Throttle 1787 BC, 5-1
Kent right-hander Javier Merlo made an effective start against the Delaware 1787 BC at Carrier Field, leading his team to a 5-1 win. In 6 innings, Merlo surrendered 2 hits, while striking out 10 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. Jack Young nailed down his 1st save.

In the top of the first, Cristo Correa Jr. pounced on a fastball from Mark Kirk and hit a run-scoring double. It gave Kent a quick 1-0 lead.

"That's the key at this level, throwing strike one," said Merlo. "Successful pitchers do it."

The Comets bumped their record to 22-21 with this latest triumph.
