Oklahoma City's first run of the day scored on a solo home run by Hunter Feduccia in the fourth inning. Round Rock tied the score in the fifth inning on a solo home run by Michael Helman. Oklahoma City (44-28) regained the lead on a sacrifice fly by Steward Berroa in the fourth inning and added four more runs in the seventh inning, including a home run by Kody Hoese to build a 6-1 lead. In the ninth inning, seven Express batters reached base with one out. Round Rock connected on six hits in the inning and eventually tied the score on a bases-loaded walk with two outs as the Comets were charged with their league-leading 25th blown save of the season.
