OKC poured it on in the fifth and sixth innings, scoring a combined five runs on eight hits to establish a 6-1 lead.

Nolan Arenado added to the lead in the top of the seventh with a solo home run in the top of the seventh.

After a solo shot from Midland's Miles Head cut the lead to 7-2, Mike Zuanich knocked and RBI single in the top of the eighth to score Kiel Roling for the final margin.
