Game Summary: The Oklahoma City Baseball Club hit three solo home runs and pitcher Bobby Miller continued his Major League Rehab Assignment as OKC defeated the Round Rock Express, 5-3, Friday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Oklahoma City (35-26) quickly took the lead when Andre Lipcius hit a solo home run past the OKC bullpen in left-center field for a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The Express (31-29) responded in its next at-bat, loading the bases and bringing in a run on a sacrifice fly. Hunter Feduccia gave OKC a 2-1 lead in the third inning, hitting a solo home run out to right-center field. Oklahoma City added two more runs in the fourth inning on a passed ball and another on a bases-loaded walk for a 4-1 advantage. The Express then scored a run on a bases-loaded walk in the fifth inning to cut OKC’s lead to two runs. A solo home run by Chris Owings out to left field in the sixth inning extended OKC’s lead to 5-2 before a Round Rock RBI single in the seventh inning made the score, 5-3.
