Game Summary

Sugar Land struck first in the bottom of the first as Brice Matthews led off with a double through the left side. After back-to-back strikeouts, Jon Singleton punched a single through the right side putting the Space Cowboys on the board first and snapping Salt Lake’s six-game streak of scoring the games first.

Salt Lake flipped the game in the top of the fourth as Brandon Drury led off with a single to center. Carter Kieboom and Cavan Biggio each worked a walk to load the bases, and Sebastián Rivero drew another walk to force in Drury with the tying run. With the bases still loaded, Yolmer Sánchez lined a single to right, scoring Kieboom and Biggio to make it 3-1.

The very next inning, the Bees poured it on. Back-to-back walks to Kieboom and Guzman and a hit by a pitch on Biggio loaded the bases once again. Rivero then delivered the biggest swing of the night on a double to left that scored Kieboom and Guzman.

A walk to Sánchez loaded them again, and a wild pitch allowed Biggio to score. Tucker Flint’s added on with an RBI single to right that capped the Bees scoring for the night making it 7-1 after the top of the fourth.

Brett Kerry was sensational for Salt Lake in his five innings of work. After allowing his only run in the first, Kerry shutout the Space Cowboys for the rest of the way collecting two strikeouts in four of his five innings and finishing with a total of nine.

Kerry handed the ball to the bullpen in the sixth, and the Space Cowboys couldn’t muster a rally until the eighth. After a Shay Whitcomb single, Logan Davidson launched a two-run homer to right, cutting the deficit to 7-3.

That was as close as they would get, as Robert Stephenson worked out of the eighth and Victor Gonzalez dealt a perfect ninth for the Bees to secure a 7-3 victory to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
