Last Game: A four-run seventh inning by the Salt Lake Bees sent the Oklahoma City Comets to a 4-2 loss Friday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The Comets built a 2-0 lead through six innings with Chuckie Robinson bringing in the first run of the night on a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning and Nick Senzel connecting on a RBI single in the sixth inning.

A RBI single by Yolmer Sánchez gave the Bees the lead before Niko Kavadas hit a RBI double for a two-run advantage. The Comets went on to load the bases with two outs in the seventh inning and then put the potential game-tying runs on base in the ninth inning before an out was made, but were unable to bring in a run in either instance.
