Explanation:

The sentence has a list of the pitcher's actions. Commas are used to separate items in a list. "In the first four" is a pre - positional phrase related to "one hit", and "struck out six" and "drove in our team's first two runs" are separate actions. Commas should separate these actions.

Answer:

one hit in the first four, struck out six, and drove in our team's first two runs
