Round Rock Express News Release
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - The Round Rock Express (30-27) claimed a 4-3 win over the Oklahoma City Baseball Club (33-25) on Wednesday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark as the teams completed Tuesday's suspended game.
Round Rock starter RHP Adrian Sampson (7-2, 4.37) earned the win on Wednesday after tossing 5.0 innings that included three runs, five hits and two walks with five strikeouts. Oklahoma City RHP Landon Knack (3-2, 3.51) got the night's loss after his outing started on Wednesday night and saw three runs, four hits, four walks and three strikeouts. E-Train LHP Grant Wolfram threw one pitch over an immaculate inning during the ninth as he struck out all three Baseball Club batters to earn his second save of the season.
Along the Train Tracks:
On Tuesday night, Round Rock plated a run in the top of the first. 1B Blaine Crim knocked a double to score LF Dustin Harris, who had worked a leadoff walk then stole second base. Inclement weather in the area forced the game to be suspended before it was continued on Wednesday.
In the bottom of the first, Oklahoma City CF James Outman hit a solo home run to tie the game at 1-1.
The Express responded with three runs in the second inning to take over, 4-1. A single from CF Jose Barrero plated two runners and a Davis Wendzel sacrifice fly scored Barrero.
Baseball Club 3B Andre Lipcius knocked a solo shot to start the bottom of the third frame before SS Trey Sweeney recorded a sacrifice fly to score Outman and make it a one-run game.
Both teams went without a run over the final six innings to secure the 4-3 final for Round Rock.
