Colorado Springs Sky Sox News Release


OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA.-The Colorado Springs Sky Sox won its second series of the season at Oklahoma City, defeating the Dodgers, 3-1, to take three of four games in front of 6,486 Sunday afternoon at Chicaksaw Bricktown Ballpark.

Tyler Heineman broke the scoreless tie in the top of the seventh inning, driving his 10th double of the season to centerfield to score Nate Orf. The catcher's seventh RBI of the season was his first run driven in since May 22 in Albuquerque.

Orf accounted for the final two runs one inning later, as the second baseman lined a two-run single to right field on a 2-2 count, scoring Ivan De Jesus and Kirk Nieuwenhuis for RBI No. 19 and 20. Orf led the offense with two hits, the only batter on either side with multiple hits Sunday.

Colorado Springs (32-21) received another productive outing from its pitching staff, recording 14 strikeouts and allowing zero earned runs. Josh Hader threw another two-inning outing, striking out four Dodgers, including three in the second inning to strand a pair on base.

Taylor Jungmann (1-0, 1.08) entered in the third inning and continued the strikeout barrage, sitting down four in a row via the third strike during the third and fourth innings. The righty struck out a total of eight in four innings during his second outing with the Sox in 2017. Stephen Kohlscheen, Wei-Chung Wang, David Goforth, Tristan Archer and Andrew Barbosa (1) combined to close out the series win.

The Sky Sox return home for an eight-game homestand in seven days starting Monday at 6:40 p.m. against the Round Rock Express. Monday is another ARC Community Ticket Day, presented by ARC Thrift Stores. Fans have the opportunity to pick up complimentary ticket vouchers from any of the ARC locations across Colorado Springs.
