Despite Robertson's Three-Hit Game, Redbirds Lose Opener at Oklahoma City
June 20, 2019 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Memphis Redbirds News Release
MEMPHIS, Tennessee - The Memphis Redbirds (29-44) led 2-1 after four-and-a-half innings, but the Oklahoma City Dodgers (Dodgers) rallied and took a 5-3 win in the series opener Thursday night in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Memphis got within a run at 4-3 after the top of the eighth inning, but the Dodgers hit a home run in the home-half to create a 5-3 lead.
Kramer Robertson was 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI to pace the Memphis offense, and John Nogowski scored two runs.
Mike Hauschild started and went 3.0 innings for the Redbirds, allowing one unearned run on one hit. Anthony Shew threw the final 5.0 innings and gave up four runs on five hits with four strikeouts and three walks.
Trailing 1-0, Memphis scored twice in the fourth inning on a Robertson RBI single and a Conner Capel base knock. The lead held for another inning, before the Dodgers tied it in the fifth and scored twice in the sixth to open a 4-2 lead.
Robertson again was at the center of attention in the eighth, as he doubled home Nogowski to pull the Redbirds within a run at 4-3.
But Shew allowed a home run in the bottom of the eighth to give Oklahoma City (30-41) some breathing room at 5-3. Memphis went down in order in the top of the ninth to end the game.
The Memphis offense struck out 14 times in the game.
The Redbirds and Oklahoma City continue their five-game series tomorrow night at 7:05. The Redbirds return to AutoZone Park on Tuesday to start a nine-game homestand through July 3.
