Oklahoma City's Ryan Fitzgerald hit a bases loaded single with one out in the bottom of the 10^th inning Friday night to give the Comets a 5-4 walk-off win over the El Paso Chihuahuas. The Chihuahuas led by a run in the ninth and 10^th innings.

Trailing 2-1 in the top of the ninth, Mason McCoy and Rodolfo Duran hit back-to-back solo home runs for El Paso. It was the Chihuahuas' fourth set of back-to-back homers this season. McCoy stole his 32^nd base of the season earlier in the game, which is 10 steals shy of Tim Lopes' single-season team record. Chihuahuas right fielder Carlos Rodríguez went 3-for-5 with an RBI in the loss.

Chihuahuas starter Ian Koenig allowed two runs in five innings in his first career Triple-A game. Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith went 0-for-3 and caught seven innings in his third MLB Injury Rehab game of the series. El Paso dropped to 6-8 in extra-inning games. Four of the first five games of the series have been decided by one run.
