Oklahoma City Comets News Release
Round Rock's Charleton Jimerson had two at-bats to hit for the cyle Tuesday against Oklahoma. He came up short, but still helped the Express to a 7-3 win over the RedHawks at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark.
Jimerson, Round Rock's lead off batter, hit a home run, a triple and a double in his first three times to the plate. He needed a single for the cycle, but flew out to center in the seventh inning and reached on an error in the ninth.
If he had singled, it would have been the first cycle in Express history. He finished the night three-for-five with four runs scored and an RBI.
Houston's No. 1 prospect according to Baseball America, Jason Hirsh, earned the win for Round Rock. He went five innings and gave up three runs on five hits with one walk and four strikeouts.
The loss was Oklahoma's first of the season as they drop to 5-1 in 2006. Round Rock is now 2-4. Drew Meyer went two-for-four with an RBI to lead the RedHawks offensively. It was his sixth RBI of the season.
Designated hitter Erubiel Durazo picked up his first RBI as a RedHawk on a double in the first inning.
The two teams will meet again Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. in Oklahoma City. Lefty John Rheinecker is scheduled to start for Oklahoma. Righty Chris Sampson is Round Rock's scheduled starter.
