OKC fell 6-1 today in Iowa to conclude the day games. Jonathan Villar went 2-4 and scored on an RBI single from Andy Simunic in the 4th. Ross Seaton allowed 4 runs on 8 hits (2-run homer), walked 1, and struck out 6 in 5 innings.
Tandem system still in effect outside of Oklahoma City. Had there been no limitations, I think he could've gone 7.

Entering tonight, opposing hitters had a .515 BABIP off of Colton Cain. The Midwest League average BABIP is .307.
Not a very good night for Chris Devenski, as he was tagged for 5 runs (4 earned) in 3 innings. Lancaster trails High Desert 5-1 heading into the bottom of the 4th.
