James Tibbs III put on a hitting clinic, leading the Comets to a dominant 12-5 victory over the Bees at home. The win pushed the team's record above .500, marking their 18th win in 35 games—a solid milestone in the Dodgers' minor league system.

Tibbs III was unstoppable at the plate, collecting four hits, including two doubles, as the Comets exploded for 12 runs without a single home run. Jack Suwinski was the only player to reach base more often, tallying three hits and two walks. Together, they accounted for more than half of the team's 13 hits and exactly half of the RBIs, driving the offense in a game where the Comets scored in five of the eight innings they batted.

The game started with an early scare as the Bees took a brief lead, but the Comets responded in style, pouring on seven runs between the third and fourth innings. Chris Taylor, the former Dodger, added a classic performance with an RBI single, though he also struck out three times in five at-bats.

On the mound, Jackson Ferris lasted just three innings, but reliever Garrett McDaniels stepped up to earn his fourth win of the 2026 season. The Comets' 13 hits and 11 walks showcased their patience and power, turning this into a rout.

While Tibbs III and Suwinski stole the spotlight, it's worth noting standout performances elsewhere in the system. Jacob Frost of the Loons earned a team-leading fifth win with five innings of one-run ball, while Nico Perez hit two home runs, doubling his season total. Perez also launched a grand slam in the top of the first inning for the Comets, setting the tone for an easy 7-1 win that sucked the energy out of the opposition's park.

For fans of the game, this kind of offensive firepower and clutch pitching is exactly what makes minor league baseball so thrilling. Whether you're tracking prospects or just love a good comeback story, the Comets are proving they have the talent to compete every night.
