**Saturday Highlights from the Dodgers’ Farm System**
**Spotlight Performance**
Damon Keith delivered a clutch performance on Saturday, propelling the Tulsa Drillers to victory with a decisive three-run blast in the eighth inning. This marks Keith’s consecutive night leaving the park, highlighting his consistency in bringing extra-base hits in his recent appearances.
**Tweet from Tulsa Drillers:** “B8 | DAMON KEITH IS THAT GUY Amarillo 5, #Drillers 8”
**Triple-A Update: Oklahoma City Dodgers**
Despite a strong start from Justin Wrobleski, who struck out six over 5 and […] innings, allowing just two runs, the Oklahoma City Dodgers fell short against the Reno Aces. The bullpen struggled to hold the line, with Tanner Dodson and Nick Ramirez conceding two crucial runs in the seventh, although Trey Sweeney managed to tie the game in the eighth. However, a late home run by Albert Almora Jr. sealed the game for the Aces.
**Double-A Drama: Tulsa Drillers**
Aside from Damon Keith’s electrifying homer, Alex Freeland also had an exceptional game, hitting two solo home runs to help secure the Drillers’ win over the Amarillo Sod Poodles. Freeland, who had a tough start to the series, bounced back impressively with three hits and three runs scored on Saturday.
In a concerning note, the Drillers’ reliever Logan Boyer exited the game with an injury during the ninth inning.
**High-A and Low-A Roundup**
The High-A Great Lakes Loons’ game against the Lake County Captains was postponed due to rain, setting up a doubleheader for Thursday, August 15, to make up for the lost game.
For the Low-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, a late-game surge by the Lake Elsinore Storm led to their downfall, despite efforts from shortstop Wilman Diaz who contributed with two doubles, an RBI, and a run. Luke Fox showed promise in his second start for Rancho Cucamonga, striking out five across four innings and allowing just one run.
