Oklahoma City - The Omaha Storm Chasers scored runs in seven different innings and hit three home runs on the way to an 11-1 win against the Oklahoma City Dodgers Sunday afternoon at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
The Storm Chasers built an 8-0 lead in the top of the seventh inning before the Dodgers got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the inning with a solo home run by Connor Joe.

With Sunday's win, Omaha tied the series between the teams, 2-2, and scored six or more runs for the third straight game against Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City's Joe led off the bottom of the seventh inning with a towering home run off the LED board in left field to get the Dodgers on the scoreboard, 8-1. The homer was his first of the season, as the Dodgers have now homered in nine of their last 10 games.
