An eighth-inning sacrifice fly from Zach Ehrhard would bring in the Comets’ final run of the game.

Of Note:

-With Sunday’s win, Albuquerque won the series, 4-2, handing Oklahoma City its second road series loss of the season after the Comets lost just one road series in 2025…Oklahoma City has now lost four of the last five games and lost their first series in Albuquerque since May 20-25, 2021.

-The 17 runs allowed by the Comets were the most allowed in a game by Oklahoma City since a 21-4 loss in Game 2 of a doubleheader Aug. 19, 2022 in Sugar Land…The 18 hits by the Isotopes Sunday were the most for an OKC opponent since June 15, 2024 in Sugar Land (19 H)…OKC last lost a game by 13 runs last season in Albuquerque June 10, 2025 in a 15-2 defeat in a game that was called with one out in the top of the eighth inning due to inclement weather…OKC allowed two innings of five or more runs Sunday and has now allowed innings of four-plus runs nine times through 21 games.

-Jack Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a double, walk and RBI as he has recorded a hit and RBI in each of his last four games, going 6-for-14 with six RBI. Since April 10 vs. Round Rock, Suwinski is 12-for-31 with two doubles, four homers and nine RBI in nine games.
