Oklahoma City Comets News Release
The El Paso Chihuahuas racked up 14 runs on 19 hits, including seven doubles and nine extra-base hits, sending the Oklahoma City Dodgers to a 14-3 loss Wednesday night at Southwest University Park. The game got off to a good start for the Dodgers (46-28), as Jason Martin hit a two-run homer in the top of the first inning for quick 2-0 lead. But in a sign of things to come, the Chihuahuas (41-33) tied the game on a pair of RBI doubles in the bottom of the first inning. After El Paso took a 4-2 lead in the second inning, Drew Avans tripled in the top of the third and scored on a wild pitch to get the Dodgers within one run. El Paso then scored the game's final 10 runs, with two in the third, three in the sixth and five in the eighth.
Of Note: -Oklahoma City tied its season high with 14 runs allowed. The 19 hits by El Paso were the most by an opponent since Aug. 3, 2018 at Tacoma. The Chihuahuas' seven doubles and nine extra-base hits were also opponent season highs, and it was the most doubles by an opponent since May 13, 2017 against Fresno. The 11-run margin of defeat tied the team's season high, and the OKC offense also tied its season low with three hits.
-Miguel Vargas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, extending his hitting streak to a season-best 11 games. During the hitting streak, Vargas is 16-for-42 (.381) with nine RBI, seven walks and eight runs scored. He surpassed his previous 10-game hitting streak initially set May 28-June 9.
