Storm Chasers designated hitter Elier Hernandez recorded a game-high three hits, however Oklahoma City right fielder Shane Peterson smashed a go-ahead two-run home run in the fifth inning and four Dodgers relief pitchers kept Omaha quiet in a 4-2 victory on Saturday night at Werner Park.

The Storm Chasers struck first with a two-spot in the second courtesy of 2B Humberto Arteaga 's two-run single to left. The Dodgers would then narrow the margin to one in the subsequent frame via 3B Edwin Rios ' bases-loaded walk prior to grabbing the lead two innings later when Peterson went deep. Oklahoma City later added an additional insurance run in the eighth with a sacrifice fly.

Hernandez (3-4, R), Arteaga (2-4, 2 RBI) and SS Jecksson Flores (2-4) all posted multi-hit efforts for Omaha, while Dodgers 1B Cameron Perkins (2-4, R) and DH Zach Reks (2-5) each tallied two knocks. In total, seven of nine Storm Chasers batters recorded at least one hit.

Oklahoma City starter Rob Zastryzny (5.0 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 6 K) earned his second victory of the year, while relievers Justin Grimm (1.0 IP, 2 H, 2 K), Jaime Schultz (1.0 IP, 2 K), Kevin Quackenbush (1.0 IP, 2 K) and J.T. Chargois (1.0 IP, 2 K) combined for the final four scoreless frames, with Chargois notching his third save. Omaha starter Scott Blewett (5.0 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 2 K) suffered the defeat, while reliever Ben Lively (2.0 IP, 2 K) tossed two shutout innings of relief.
