Buck Britton walk-off HR in 19th wins Game 1 of doubleheader for Oklahoma City

There were a pair of walk-off wins in Oklahoma for the Dodgers minor league affiliates on Tuesday night.

Player of the day

Buck Britton hit a two-run home run in the 19th inning, giving Triple-A Oklahoma City a walk-off 6-4 win over the Iowa Cubs in the first game of a wild doubleheader. Britton was 3-for-12 with a home run, a double and a walk in the doubleheader.

Triple-A Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City swept a doubleheader over Iowa, 6-4 in 19 innings in Game 1, then 3-1 in seven innings in Game 2, with a number of notable things:

The first game lasted five hours, 44 minutes and at 19 innings matched Oklahoma City's longest game ever.

Iowa grabbed a 4-2 lead in the 10th, but OKC tied the game in the bottom of the inning with an RBI double by Corey Seager then an RBI single by Andy Wilkins.

Daniel Coulombe loaded the bases with one out with three walks in the 19th inning, but got out of the jam, the final play a tough play on a ground ball to Britton at third to end the frame. Coulombe then singled ahead of Britton's home run for his first hit as a professional.

Jharel Cotton pitched a scoreless 17th inning with one strikeout, his third scoreless appearance in relief since getting promoted to Triple-A. Cotton has eight strikeouts and two walks, allowing four hits in 5⅓ innings.

After seven relief pitchers were used in Game 1, Ramon Troncoso got a spot start in Game 2 and pitched four scoreless innings, his longest outing of the year.

Deck McGuire started the night in Double-A, but as Game 1 was extending into the night he drove from Tulsa to Oklahoma City, and pitched the final three innings of Game 2 for the win.

"It was an easy drive," McGuire told Trent Shadid of The Oklahoman of the 106-mile drive, "but I did have to pay the tolls."

Game 2 ended at 12:47 a.m. local time.

Oklahoma City has a five-game lead over Iowa in the American North Division of the Pacific Coast League with six games to play, and can clinch the division with a win on Wednesday.
