Today's Game: The Oklahoma City Comets close out their home series against the Round Rock Express at 2:05 p.m. at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark...The Comets have lost back-to-back games and trail the Express, 4-1, in the series. Regardless of today's result, the Comets have lost the current series, snapping their streak of five consecutive series wins...This afternoon OKC looks to avoid a third consecutive loss for the first time since losing a season-high four straight games April 23-26 at home against Tacoma.
Last Game: The Round Rock Express scored eight runs all with two outs over the final three innings to send the Oklahoma City Comets to a 9-2 loss Saturday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Trailing, 1-0, the Comets tied the score in the third inning on an RBI double from Tommy Edman. The Comets then took a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning on a two-out RBI double down the right field line by Ryan Fitzgerald. A critical passed ball during the seventh inning opened the door for Round Rock to score twice on consecutive bases-loaded walks. Round Rock extended its lead in the final two innings with a two-run homer from Cooper Johnson in the eighth inning followed by four runs in the ninth inning, all following an OKC throwing error with two outs.
