ROUND ROCK, Texas – The Round Rock Express (9-10 | 46-47) evened the series against the Oklahoma City Baseball Club (8-12 | 48-47) thanks to a walk-off home run off the bat of C Matt Whatley. The E-Train claimed a 2-1 win in the 10th inning on Saturday night at Dell Diamond.

Round Rock RHP Grant Anderson (2-0, 2.12) took home the win after throwing 2.0 innings that saw one unearned run, three hits and four strikeouts. Oklahoma City RHP Tanner Dodson (3-3, 3.98) was tagged with a blown-save loss as he allowed the winning runs to score in the 10th inning. Dodson finished with two runs allowed, one of which was earned, and one hit while recording one out.

Along the Train Tracks:

  • In the top of the 10th inning, Oklahoma City RF Chris Owings hit a single to drive home 3B Alan Trejo, who had started the frame on second base, to score the first run of the night.
  • Round Rock stepped up in the bottom of the inning when C Matt Whatley roped a home run onto the left field berm and scored PR Jax Biggers to give the Express the 2-1 victory.
