Crittenden (12-14) led 43-42 through three quarters, but was held without a field goal in the final period.
Erik O’Leary led the Rockets with 15 points. Preston Morgeson had 12.
Caldwell led 32-31 at halftime in what was a tight battle until the latter stages of the contest.
The Tigers will continue a busy week on Thursday when they host Dawson Springs for a 7th District tilt at the CAB gym.
