OKC Dodgers 19 vs Round Rock Express (Texas) 0
ON THE MOUND
Well okay then. 6’ 2”, Santo Domingo, DR, RHSP Yefry Ramirez pitched a complete game 3-hit shutout. It is the first OKC Dodger 9 inning complete game since 2018. Yefry allowed a total of 4 baserunners, and three were eliminated by GIDP. He never had a runner make 2B. That was about as dominant of a pitching performance as I can remember.
It's only appropriate he took the final out for himself.
Congrats to Yefry Ramírez, who is the first OKC pitcher since 2018 to throw a nine-inning shutout! pic.twitter.com/YWIhUZf6BJ

Frisco RoughRiders (Texas) 7 vs. Tulsa Drillers 9
On the Mound
Clayton Beeter started his 6th game for the Drillers, but this was not one of his better efforts. In the 2nd inning, after a leadoff double, Beeter would walk three batters to score a run. In the 3rd, another walk and single put runners on 1st and 2nd. Trey Hair doubled home both runs. 3.0 IP, with 4 hits, 3 runs (all earned), 5 BB, and 4K.
Alec Gamboa followed Beeter in th4e 4th. Gamboa set Frisco down in order in the 4th, and 5th, but the next two innings he pitched he had trouble. In the 6th, 2 walks, 2 singles, and a sac fly produced two runs. In the 7th, a Blaine Crim HR (6), bringing the score to 9-6.
The usually reliable Mark Washington came in to close it out. He offered up a walk and run scoring double in the 8th, before retiring Frisco in order in the 9th for his 2nd save.
At the Plate
After the leadoff out in the first, the next 7 batters reached base and 5 scored. Michael Busch hit a one out double, and James Outman followed with a BB. Ryan Ward slugged a 2-run double.

Player of the Game
It has not been a good season thus far for the two Tulsa 3B/DH players, so after both get three hits, I have to give it to both Brandon Lewis and Kody Hoese.
Great Lakes Loons 1 vs Lake County Captains (Cleveland) 2
On the Mound
Gavin Stone started and completed 5.0 efficient innings, throwing 61 pitches/46 strikes. Unfortunately he allowed a walk and run scoring double in the 2nd to stake the Captains to a 1-0 lead. That was the only run he would allow with 3 hits, 1 BB, and 6 K. Gavin Stone now has an ERA 1.44, and Braydon Fisher has an ERA of 0.93.
Braydon Fisher kept the Captains off the bases with 2 perfect innings and 4 Ks. After the Loons tied it in the top of the 8th, Jacob Cantleberry came into relief in the bottom of the 8th. Cantleberry allowed a walk and a two out double to give the Captains the 2-1 lead, and the eventual win.
Gavin Stone now has an ERA 1.44, and Braydon Fisher has an ERA of 0.93.

The Loons were kept off the board until the 8th when Eddys Leonard hit his 3rd HR of the season. Leonard and Leonel Valera each had 2 hits, with Leonard hitting a double in addition to his HR.
Player of the Game
While Gavin Stone would be an admirable Player of the Game, I am going to name Eddys Leonard with that honor. On April 26, Leonard was batting .176. In the 14 games since that date, Leonard has gone 18-54 with 1 walk and 10 K, to raise his BA to .257 and his OPS to .790 His batting line over that period is .333/.345/.611/.956.
