SACRAMENTO, CA - The Sugar Land Space Cowboys (20-27) dropped their second-straight game of the series against the Sacramento River Cats (27-18) on Wednesday night, falling 13-1 at Sutter Health Park.

The River Cats broke the game open in the fourth inning with a seven-run outburst. Sacramento pieced together four singles, two doubles, a home run and a walk in the frame, extending their advantage to 9-0.

Sacramento continued to add on in the sixth, opening the inning with back-to-back doubles to push their lead to 10-0. Three more runs in the eighth stretched the score to 13-0.

Sugar Land broke through in the top of the ninth when Cavan Biggio launched his sixth home run of the season, putting the Space Cowboys on the board and cutting into the deficit at 13-1. The late rally attempt was short-lived, as the Space Cowboys dropped their second consecutive game.
