Oklahoma City Comets News Release


Oklahoma City - The Oklahoma City Dodgers scored two runs with two outs in the seventh inning to break a tie on the way to a key 4-2 win against the Colorado Springs Sky Sox Saturday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

The win evened the pivotal four-game series between the top two teams in the PCL American Northern Division and allowed the Dodgers to once again take over first place in the division standings. Oklahoma City now leads the division by a half-game with 11 games remaining in the regular season, including seven head-to-head meetings with the Sky Sox.

The Sky Sox (68-60) took the game's first lead in the top of the second inning in front of a sellout crowd of 10,454.

Colorado Springs' Andrés Blanco connected on a two-run homer out to right field that landed in the upper deck for a 2-0 Sky Sox advantage.

The Dodgers quickly responded in the bottom of the inning, scoring two runs to knot the game, 2-2.

Edwin RÃ-os led off with a double for Oklahoma City and Will Smith followed with a walk. Both advanced a base on a groundout before Rocky Gale hit a RBI single to cut Colorado Springs' lead to one run.

Jake Peter followed and lined out, allowing Smith to score and tie the game, 2-2. Dodgers starting pitcher Daniel Corcino followed with a single and Gale tried to score on the play, but was thrown out at home to keep the score tied.

The Dodgers (69-60) added two runs in the seventh inning with two outs.

Matt Beaty led off with a double and advanced to third base on a groundout by Gale. A two-out walk to Kyle Farmer later in the inning put runners at the corners for Tim Locastro, who hit a RBI double to give the Dodgers the lead.

Alex Verdugo followed with a RBI single for a 4-2 Oklahoma City advantage.

Dodgers pitcher Corcino allowed two runs and five hits over 6.0 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts. He also connected on a team-leading two hits.

Reliever Stetson Allie (3-0) followed Corcino on the mound and picked up the win with a scoreless seventh inning. Joe Broussard pitched a scoreless eighth inning before Brian Schlitter closed out the game with a scoreless ninth inning for his 19th save of the season.

Colorado Springs reliever Nick Ramirez (3-3) was charged with the loss, allowing Oklahoma City's eventual winning runs in the seventh inning.
