Oklahoma City Comets News Release


Rehabbing Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell threw 4.2 scoreless innings, Hunter Feduccia drove in four runs and the Oklahoma City Comets pitching staff carried a no-hit bid into the ninth inning during a 5-1 win over the Reno Aces Saturday night at Greater Nevada Field. Feduccia's first RBI occurred on a single in the second inning to give the Comets (17-9/63-38) a 1-0 lead. Ryan Ward added a RBI single in the third inning to make it 2-0. Feduccia blasted a two-run homer in the sixth inning and delivered another RBI single in the eighth inning to give the Comets a 5-0 advantage. Snell did not allow a run or hit across 4.2 innings with seven strikeouts. Relievers José Rodríguez and Garrett McDaniels followed Snell with a combined 3.1 hitless innings and retired all 10 batters, as the Comets held Reno (7-19/44-57) without a hit through eight innings. However, Albert Almora led off the bottom the ninth inning with a triple to right-center field and later scored on a wild pitch, representing the Aces' only run and hit of the night.
