The RedHawks pulled the game even in the top of the fifth inning when Angel Sanchez singled on a soft fly ball to right field to score Matt Dominguez for OKC's only run of the game.

The Express closed out the RedHawks by locking down its defense and belting two home runs. The first homer came from Joey Butler in the bottom of the sixth. Then Leonys Martin hit a two-run shot over the right field wall to make it 4-1 Express.

OKC's Rudy Owens was charged with the loss after giving up four hits and two earned runs in six innings on the mound.
