Redbirds Return Home Riding Four-Game Winning Streak

June 25, 2019 - Pacific Coast League (PCL) - Memphis Redbirds News Release

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma - Drew Robinson and Lane Thomas were each on base four times, and every Memphis Redbird starting position player reached base at least once in a 9-6 win in the series finale with the Oklahoma City Dodgers (Dodgers) Monday night in Oklahoma City, Okla.

The Redbirds (33-44) have won four-straight games.

Edmundo Sosa led the Memphis offense with a three-hit game, and Tyler O'Neill and Robinson had two-hit outings. Thomas walked three times in addition to a double, and he also had an outfield assist at the plate. Kramer Robertson, the only Redbird starter without a hit, drew two walks and scored a run.

Sosa had his fifth triple of the season, which is tied for the fourth-most in the Pacific Coast League.

The Redbirds had a 7-2 lead before Oklahoma City (30-45) scored four times in the bottom of the eighth to tighten the lead to 7-6, but O'Neill led off to the top of the ninth with his 10th home run of the season. Pinch-runner John Nogowski then scored on an error to give Memphis a 9-6 advantage.

Chasen Shreve allowed a single in a scoreless bottom of the ninth to finish the victory.

Adolis Garcia jammed the box score with an RBI double, a walk, two runs scored, and two stolen bases.

Chris Ellis picked up the victory with 2.1 shutout innings in relief of Mike Hauschild. Ellis allowed three hits and struck out four.

The Redbirds return to AutoZone Park tomorrow night at 6:35 to start a nine-game homestand against the Nashville Sounds (Rangers) and New Orleans Baby Cakes (Marlins). Memphis is home through its Independence Day Celebration presented by AutoZone on Wednesday, July 3.
