Oklahoma City (16-16) rallied for three runs with two outs in the second inning with a two-RBI double from Michael Siani followed by a single the very next pitch to Chuckie Robinson to drive in Siani. Noah Miller opened the third inning with a homer to extend the Comets' lead to 4-0. Round Rock (13-19) responded with four unanswered runs, starting with a three-run bottom of the third and later tying the game in the fifth inning. The Comets jumped back ahead, 7-4, with a three-run sixth inning, including a RBI double by Austin Gauthier and two-run single by Robinson. With Round Rock trialing, 7-5, the Express rallied in the ninth inning, plating a run on a two-out single from Jonah Bride, but Keynan Middleton induced a game-ending groundout to leave the tying run in scoring position.
