EXPLORERS 0 / 3 / 0 COMETS 1 / 6 / 0 WP – Yarbrough (12-7) LP – Allard (4-12) S – Jansen (36)

Joey Gallo hits #36 for Baltimore. EXPLORERS 6 / 9 / 1 COMETS 5 / 11 / 2 WP – King (1-3) LP – Bummer (2-6) S – Petit (3)

After a leadoff double from Nick Castellanos, Cousins walks the bases loaded, then walks another to put Hollywood on top 5-4. A double play keeps it from getting any worse.
