Oklahoma City Comets News Release


The Oklahoma City Comets fell behind by five runs and made some noise late in the game, but ultimately lost to the Round Rock Express, 6-4, Friday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Round Rock (26-35) jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the third inning with a pair of two-run homers by Jonah Bride and Cooper Johnson - both with two outs. The Express scored again in the fourth inning to make it 5-0. The Comets (34-26) netted a run in the sixth inning on a fielder's choice, but the Express got the run back in the seventh inning, scoring on a wild pitch. The Comets scored once in the eighth inning and entered the bottom of the ninth inning trailing, 6-2. James Tibbs III hit a two-run homer, and the Comets later put the tying runs on base with one out but couldn't complete the comeback.

Of Note: -The Comets have lost three of the first four games of a series for the first time this season, and OKC is now 1-3 this week after going 13-3 over the previous 16 games entering this series...The Comets have lost five of the last seven home games, with four of the defeats by one or two runs.

-James Tibbs III hit his league-leading 18th home run of the season and has now hit six home runs in the last eight games and seven home runs in the last 10 games.

-Oklahoma City has gone deep in 10 of the last 11 games, hitting 20 home runs since May 24.

-Zach Ehrhard drew a walk in the fifth inning to extend his on-base streak to 26 games...Ehrhard went 0-for-4 and was kept without a hit for just the third time in the last 18 games.

-Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Tommy Edman continued his Major League Rehab Assignment, going 0-for-4 with a walk while playing the entire game at third base. It marked the first time Edman played all nine innings during his rehab assignment...Edman is 7-for-24 with a homer and two RBI through seven games with the Comets.
