Max Muncy, Chuckie Robinson and CJ Alexander each hit home runs as the Oklahoma City Comets defeated the Salt Lake Bees, 12-10, Sunday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. After being held to 13 total runs through the first five games of the series, the Comets offense broke out for 12 runs in the series finale and started the scoring in the first inning when Muncy connected on a solo home run out to left field. OKC then went in front, 2-0, on a sacrifice fly by Austin Gauthier. The Bees (14-19/43-64) scored four runs in the second inning to take the lead. Oklahoma City (19-14/65-43) went back in front, 5-4, on three straight RBI knocks by Muncy, Ryan Ward and Alexander in the bottom of the inning. The Bees knotted the score at 5-5 in the fifth inning before OKC regained the lead in the bottom of the inning by scoring four runs, including a two-run double by Kody Hoese and two-run homer by Robinson. Salt Lake added two runs in the seventh inning before Alexander belted a three-run homer out to right field to extend the Comets' advantage to 12-7. The Bees rallied with two outs in the ninth inning, scoring three runs and bringing the potential tying run to the plate, but the Comets held on for the win.
