Comet lose regular-season baseball finale to V-S, 9-2

Staff Report

VINTON — Charles City senior Drew Mitchell, who is the team’s leading hitter this season, was 3 for 4 in the Comets’ final regular-season game of the season, but it wasn’t enough to prevent hosting Vinton-Shellsburg from winning, 9-2, in non-conference baseball action Monday.

The Comets (10-20) took a 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth, but the Vikings rallied for 3 runs in the latter half of the inning before adding another run in the fifth and 4 more in the sixth.

Jared Thompson was 2 for 4 with a homer and 2 RBIs for the Vikings.

Next up for the Comets is a first-round Class 3A Substate District 5 game against Decorah, 7 p.m. Friday at Wartburg College.
