July 3, 2024 - Pacific Coast League (PCL)
Oklahoma City Comets News Release
For the second straight night, the Oklahoma City Baseball Club and Las Vegas Aviators were tied after seven innings, but this time Oklahoma City was the aggressor late in the game and prevailed over Las Vegas, 11-6, Tuesday at Las Vegas Ballpark. Oklahoma City jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the third inning, with a RBI single by Kody Hoese and two-run homer by Ryan Ward. However, Las Vegas scored four runs in the bottom of the frame to go ahead at 4-3. OKC responded with two runs in the fourth inning on a RBI double by Alan Trejo and RBI single by Andre Lipcius. Again, Las Vegas shot back with two runs in the bottom of the inning to regain the lead at 6-5. OKC tied the game in the fifth inning when Diego Cartaya doubled and Trey Sweeney scored on an error during the play. Still even at 6-6 in the eighth inning, Cartaya hit his first Triple-A homer to give OKC the lead. Two more runs scored in the inning on a wild pitch and a RBI single by Hoese. Oklahoma City tacked on two more runs in the ninth inning to finish the scoring.
Of Note: -Oklahoma City snapped its season-high six game losing streak. The team also ended a six-game road losing skid, which was the team's longest since 2018.
-OKC put up its highest run total since an 11-2 win over Sugar Land June 11. The team also notched 14 hits for their most hits since June 8 at home against Round Rock (15).

-Alan Trejo made his team debut and reached base four times with two doubles and two walks.
-Ryan Ward hit his league-leading 21st home run of the season - a two-run shot off the left field foul pole in the third inning.
-Kody Hoese went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI singles. During his current five-game hitting streak, Hoese is 8-for-20.
-Trey Sweeney went 1-for-4 with a walk and scored two runs. Over his last five games, Sweeney is 7-for-18 and has reached base at least twice each game.
