Oklahoma City Comets News Release
The Oklahoma City Comets scored seven runs over the final two innings, erasing a late four-run deficit to come back and defeat the Round Rock Express, 9-8, Thursday night at Dell Diamond. The Comets (9-3) trailed, 6-2, entering the eighth inning but pulled even with a two-run single by James Outman followed with a two-run homer by Michael Chavis. Round Rock (5-7) regained the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning to go in front 7-6 entering the ninth inning. Alex Freeland's RBI double leveled the score before Eddie Rosario hit a go-ahead two-run homer - his second home run of the night.
