Oklahoma City Comets News Release


The Tacoma Rainiers used a four-run second inning to build an early lead and held the Oklahoma City Dodgers to just one run, sending the Dodgers to a 5-1 defeat Saturday night at Cheney Stadium. The Rainiers (23-15/60-53) started their rally in the bottom of the second inning with a walk and then a critical error by the Dodgers on a potential double play. Tacoma proceeded to then score four runs after collecting three hits, a hit batter with the bases loaded and a sacrifice fly. Adam Engel homered in the third inning, stretching the lead to 5-0. The Dodgers (23-15/73-38) did not have a baserunner until the fifth inning, as Rainiers starting pitcher Tommy Milone retired the first 14 batters he faced. David Dahl hit a home run leading off the seventh inning to get the Dodgers on the board. Later in the inning, the Dodgers loaded the bases with none out but failed to score.
