The Comets and Truckers completed a game that originally began earlier in the season, but was suspended because of lightning and hail.

The game was suspended with Waupaca taking a 3-0 lead into the bottom of the second inning.

The Comets added to their lead with three runs in the second and four more in the fifth.
