The Zephyrs woes continued Monday night as the Oklahoma City RedHawks beat them 3-1 in their series opener at Zephyr Field.

Willie Collazo (7-4) was effective for most of the night despite taking the loss. He was able to wriggle out of several jams during his seven innings of work. The only damage he gave up came in the third inning. After allowing back-to-back singles to Greg Golson and Jose Vallejo to begin the inning, Collazo then gave up a three-run homer to Kevin Richardson to put the RedHawks up 3-0.

The three run cushion would prove to be enough for the RedHawks, who extended the Zephyr losing streak to a season-high seven games.

Alejandro De Aza went 2-for-4 with an RBI to lead the way for the Zephyrs, who could not put together enough offense to mount a serious comeback. The team was 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position on the night.

The series will continue Tuesday night at 7 pm with Willie Glen (RHP) facing off against Elizardo Ramirez (RHP).
