Round Rock Escapes Comets Comeback

Oklahoma City Comets News Release
The Oklahoma City Comets loaded the bases in the ninth inning, but were unable to complete a comeback in a 6-3 loss to the Round Rock Express Sunday afternoon at Dell Diamond. Entering the ninth inning trailing by three runs, the Comets (10-5) loaded the bases without a hit via two walks and when Hyeseong Kim was hit by a pitch with two outs. Express pitcher Codi Heuer then struck out Alex Freeland to end the game. Round Rock (7-8) had built a 6-0 lead through six innings, including a two-run home run by Trevor Hauver in the first inning, two-run single by Tucker Barnhart in the fifth inning and a RBI groundout and sacrifice fly by the Express in the sixth inning. All three Comets runs scored in the seventh inning when Chris Okey lined a three-run home run out to left field.
