Big inning lifts Central Springs past Comets, 7-1
Charles City senior Drew Mitchell delivers a pitch as Central Springs senior Mitch Fingalsen increases his lead off first base.

MANLY — It has become particularly trite to say that baseball — or any other projectile sport — is a game of inches.
But Charles City’s non-conference game against Central Springs on Friday may have been a game of loosely fitted wardrobe.
Comet senior Drew Mitchell looked to be on a verge of emerging unscathed during a brewing Panther threat in the bottom of the sixth inning in what was a tight 2-1 ballgame with the home team in front.
Mitchell had two strikes on sophomore Treyjen Wilson before coming inside. The pitch, as ruled by the umpire, grazed Treyjen’s uniform across the midsection resulting in loading the bases.
Soon after, Allen Alexander’s infield single resulted in a throwing error which scored 3 runs during the Panthers’ ensuing 5-run rally.
Central Springs, which was led by winning-pitcher Austin Dillavou’s 4-for-4 night, eventually prevailed 7-1.
In the early half of the inning, Charles City had posed a threat while loading the bases with no outs but only managed to score 1 run as the Panthers got out of the inning with a 1-2-3 — pitcher to catcher to first base — doubleplay.
Mitchell had 2 hits and a double for the Comets.
The following day during Saint Ansgar’s invitational , the Comets lost to Kee (6-2) and the hosting Saints (5-1) while falling to 6-8 overall for the season.
