Game Summary: Max Muncy crushed a two-run home run out to right field in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday night, sending the Oklahoma City Dodgers to a 6-4 win against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. With the game in a 4-4 tie, Michael Busch drew a walk with one out. Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Muncy, who is with OKC as part of a Major League Rehab Assignment, then came up to bat and hit the Dodgers’ second walk-off home run of the season to open a three-game series against the Space Cowboys. Sugar Land (21-34) built a 3-0 lead in the fifth inning on three solo homers, including two by Enmanuel Valdez in his Triple-A debut. Drew Avans got the Dodgers (33-22) on the scoreboard in the fifth inning with a solo home run. A sacrifice fly gave the Space Cowboys a 4-1 advantage before Miguel Vargas hit a two-run single into center field to trim the lead to one run in the seventh inning. A sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Stefen Romero knotted the game at 4-4 in the eighth inning as the Dodgers scored five unanswered runs for the win.
