After losing the series opener Friday in Colorado Springs, the Dodgers trailed the Sky Sox by 2.5 games in the division standings and would have been eliminated from playoff contention with one loss.

Oklahoma City tacked on a run in the third inning when Beaty hit his second RBI double of the game for a 4-0 Dodgers lead.
The Sky Sox (73-66) loaded the bases in the bottom of the third inning with one out and brought home a run on a fielder's choice to cut the Dodgers' lead to 4-1.
Colorado Springs loaded the bases again in the bottom of the fourth inning, as three straight Sky Sox batters reached base with two outs before Dodgers pitcher Josh Sborz entered the game and got Nate Orf to fly out to end the inning.
Oklahoma City then took a 5-1 lead in the fifth inning. Joe led off with a walk, advanced to second base on a groundout by Ramos and to third base on a fly out by Donovan Solano. Then with Joe on third base and Kyle Garlick at the plate, Sky Sox reliever Bubba Derby threw a wild pitch that allowed Joe to score for a four-run Oklahoma City lead.
For the third straight inning, the Sky Sox loaded the bases in the fifth with two outs, but Rymer Liriano grounded out to end the frame and keep Oklahoma City in front, 5-1.
The Dodgers loaded the bases in the top of the seventh inning on two walks and a single by Ramos with none out. Later with one out, Ríos came up to bat and hit a two-run single to center field for a 7-1 Oklahoma City lead.
Five Dodgers pitchers combined to hold the Sky Sox to just one run and nine hits in the first game, with reliever Zach McAllister (1-1) picking up the win by retiring all four batters he faced over the fifth and sixth innings.
Colorado Springs starting pitcher Freddy Peralta (6-2) was charged with the loss, allowing three runs and four hits over 2.0 innings, as the Sky Sox outhit OKC, 9-8.

The Dodgers loaded the bases again in the top of the third inning before Joe hit a two-run single. Ramos followed a single and Peter scored on a Colorado Springs' throwing error to take an 8-2 lead.
Joe's RBI double in the fifth inning pushed the Dodgers' lead to 9-2. Solano later added a sacrifice fly in the inning for a 10-2 lead.
Meanwhile, Dodgers relievers Manny Bañuelos and Michael Johnson combined to keep the Sky Sox off the scoreboard from the second through fifth innings before Colorado Springs' Emilio Bonifácio hit a RBI double in the sixth inning to cut Oklahoma City's lead to 10-3.
