Oklahoma City Comets 6, Charlotte Knights 3
The Knights (35-29) managed to jump out to a 3-0 lead, then watched it all go up in smoke as Oklahoma City stormed back for the win.
Charlotte struck first in the second inning, manufacturing a run without the benefit of a hit after Ryan Galanie led off with a double, Dru Baker moved him over on a ground out, before Josh Breaux lifted a sac fly to center. Textbook small ball.
The Knights added to their lead in the third thanks to back-to-back jacks by Jason Matthews and Everson Pereira to put Charlotte ahead 3-0.
Shane Murphy coasted for four, then with two outs in the fifth, a single, then boom — a two-run shot. The lead shrank to 3-2. Next inning, another solo homer, and just like that, all square. Murphy at least made it through six, three earned, so he gets the ‘quality start’ badge. Unfortunately, it didn’t matter.
Enter Duncan Davitt for the seventh, and the Comets pounced for three runs, making it 6-3, claiming their first lead of the night.
