Oklahoma added three runs in the fourth inning on a single by Drew Meyer, a sacrifice fly by Adam Hyzdu and a single by Jason Hart. Hart finished the game two-for-four with an RBI to give him five RBIs during the four-game series with Round Rock.

Oklahoma starting pitcher John Danks went seven innings and gave up two runs on three hits with three walks and five strikeouts to earn his first career Triple-A win. He threw 89 pitches, 58 for strikes.

Danks gave up no runs on one hit in the first four innings before allowing a walk and a two-run homer by Alan Zinter to start the fifth.
