Houston, you have a problem. Did you hear that Ryan Houston? 8 Runs in in 1/3 of an inning off 4 hits and 4 walks. One of the hits was a grand slam. He wasn’t the only Express pitcher with a problem. Nieve gave up 6 runs in 4 innings, Paronto gave up 2 in 1 inning and Byrdak gave up 3 in 1 2/3 innings. Carlos Hines was the exception pitching one scoreless inning. The result was a 19 – 3 flogging at the hand of Oklahoma City.

Friday Night, Jack Cassel went 5 1/3 innings before allowing a base runner and the first reached on hit that the RR fan’s thought could have been scored otherwise.

Feliciano ended up on second base, and the play was ruled a double, which prompted boos from the crowd.
The Express got the win with 2 runs in the 9th. The winning run was scored on a Josh Paul walk with the bases loaded.
