Friday saw the Comets play host to Grossmont College and again the mercy rule was needed as Palomar defeated the Griffins 11-2 in the PCAC matchup.

Shortstop K.K. Fonda hit a 2-run home run in the bottom of the fifth to force the early ending. The sophomore went 3-4 with the HR, a triple, four RBI’s, and two runs scored.

Saturday’s scheduled contest at home vs. Grossmont was cancelled at the request of the Grossmont coach.
