| Twisters Earn Late Win | Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Oklahoma City Twisters got the win.
The Houston Rangers could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Jesus Arenas into a win. Instead, the Oklahoma City Twisters prevailed, 4-3. Arenas threw 7.1 innings allowing 3 runs. Oklahoma City reliever Chad Strickland picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Joel Tollefson took the loss.
The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Oklahoma City center fielder Jeremy Gonzalez, facing Joel Tollefson, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Twisters the 4-3 win.
Houston manager David Fields said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.
The win puts Oklahoma City at 2-0. | | | | |
