Narrative:
Was in command of air carrier flight # pit-lan. Had just made approach to runway 28 and was in process of landing when aircraft drifted to right and upon correcting to keep aircraft on centerline, left landing light made contact with runway. Approach was made with 5 KT tailwind, but aircraft on approach acted like there was a left crosswind otherwise, everything was normal except for aircraft drifting to right in flare.
