Oklahoma City Comets News Release


A four-run third inning provided an early cushion as the Oklahoma City Comets went on to notch a 5-2 win over the Tacoma Rainiers Friday night at Cheney Stadium. The Comets (38-35/84-64) broke a scoreless tie with a RBI single from Chuckie Robinson to take the lead in the third inning. Two batters later, Alex Freeland cranked a two-run homer to extend the lead to 3-0. Austin Gauthier then added a RBI double to finish the rally. Jose Ramos led off the sixth inning with a solo home run, giving the Comets a 5-0 lead. The Rainiers (46-27/84-64) scored one run in each of the seventh and eighth innings to pull within 5-2. Tacoma put the tying run at the plate with one out in the ninth inning when Colt Emerson hit a line drive back to pitcher Nick Frasso, who caught the ball and then tossed to second base to complete a game-ending double play.
