Game Summary: Kody Hoese lined a RBI single into left field in the 10th inning to secure a 7-6 walk-off win for the Oklahoma City Baseball Club against the Tacoma Rainiers Wednesday afternoon at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Tacoma (33-32/76-64) battled back from a five-run deficit, tying the game, 6-6, on a two-run home run by Dominic Canzone in the ninth inning. OKC reliever John Rooney pitched a scoreless top of the 10th inning. Then in the bottom of the 10th with two runners on base and one out, Hoese’s RBI single allowed Drew Avans to score the game-winning run from third base as Hoese secured his fourth RBI of the game. Oklahoma City (33-32/73-67) led the game from the first through eighth innings after taking a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Hoese hit into a RBI groundout for OKC’s first run of the day. James Outman followed and lined a RBI single into right field that was coupled with a Tacoma fielding error that allowed Outman to round the bases and score for a 3-0 OKC lead. Alan Trejo then connected on a solo home run for a 4-0 advantage. After Tacoma cut the lead to three runs in the third inning, Hoese knocked a two-run single into center field with the bases loaded in the fifth inning to give OKC a 6-1 lead. Tacoma chipped away at the OKC lead by scoring two runs in the sixth inning and another in the eighth inning before tying the score in the ninth inning.
