LAS VEGAS (Interstat) — The Oklahoma City Comets will visit the Las Vegas Aviators on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026, for Game 3 of their Pacific Coast League playoff series at Cashman Field. The forecast calls for 85 degrees at game time. Oklahoma City enters at 87-60. Las Vegas is 87-59. The series is tied 1-1 after the Aviators won 13-11 on Tuesday and the Comets answered with a 7-1 victory Wednesday.

Oklahoma City will look to Zach Ehrhard to continue his recent form. The outfielder went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs in Tuesday’s loss at Las Vegas. He also had three hits and an RBI in a Sept. 17 win at El Paso, and he collected two hits and an RBI in each of his games against Sugar Land on Sept. 12 and Sept. 10. Ehrhard has multiple hits in four of his past 10 games.

Las Vegas will counter with Taylor Rashi out of the bullpen. Rashi worked two scoreless innings against Oklahoma City on Tuesday, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out four. He also threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings at Sugar Land on Sept. 18, with one hit, two walks and one strikeout. Rashi has posted scoreless outings in five of his past seven appearances, including a two-inning scoreless stint against Sugar Land on Aug. 28. He has allowed one earned run or fewer in six of those seven outings.

The teams have split their recent meetings at Cashman Field. Oklahoma City’s 7-1 win Wednesday followed Las Vegas’ 13-11 victory Tuesday. Earlier in the season series, the Comets won three of four against the Aviators from July 30 to Aug. 2 at Oklahoma City, while Las Vegas took two of three at home from April 4-5. The playoff matchup has featured plenty of offense, with 24 runs combined in Tuesday’s game and eight runs combined Wednesday.

Oklahoma City’s most recent offensive production has come from Ehrhard, James Tibbs III and Bobby Miller. Tibbs hit a home run and drove in two runs Tuesday. Miller pitched a scoreless inning with one strikeout. Las Vegas got a three-RBI game from Bryan Lavastida on Tuesday, while Ben Bowden pitched an inning with one run and one strikeout. The Aviators and Comets have combined for 32 runs over their past two meetings.
