Game Summary: The Round Rock Express scored eight runs over the final three innings to send the Oklahoma City Comets to a 9-2 loss Saturday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Round Rock (27-35) loaded the bases before an out was made in the opening frame, but was held to one run when Blaine Crim grounded into a double play. Oklahoma City (34-27) tied the score in the third inning on an RBI double from Tommy Edman. The Comets then took a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning on a two-out RBI double down the right field line by Ryan Fitzgerald. The Express bounced back with a pair of bases-loaded walks to take the lead in the seventh inning, benefitting from an OKC passed ball. Round Rock extended its lead in the final two innings with a two-run homer from Cooper Johnson in the eighth inning followed by four unearned runs in the ninth after an OKC throwing error. The Express’ final eight runs of the game scored with two outs.
