Oklahoma RedHawks Beat Albuquerque Isotopes 15-5 - AAA, Pacific Coast League

MLN - THE RAW FEED - www.mlntherawfeed.com – Oklahoma City - The Oklahoma RedHawks beat the Albuquerque Isotopes 15-5 Sunday afternoon at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark.  Nine different players drove in runs for Oklahoma in the win.

            Albuquerque took an early lead on Oklahoma starter Elizardo Ramirez with three runs in the second inning.  The RedHawks answered with five runs in the home half of the inning to take a lead that they would not surrender.  Jason Ellsion had the key hit in the inning; a bases loaded triple that put the RedHawks up 4-3.  Oklahoma would add runs in each of the next two innings before Albuquerque managed any more offense.  After the Isotopes plated a run in the top of the sixth, the RedHawks rallied with a four-run sixth inning of their own.  Oklahoma plated those four runs on just two hits, benefiting from three walks and a hit batter.  Albuquerque scored its final run in the top of the seventh, but once again the Oklahoma offense grabbed the scene, scoring three times in the seventh and once in the eighth.
