Zack Short wasted no time in the top of the first as he launched a lead-off home run to instantly put the Space Cowboys ahead, 1-0. Short's homer was his fourth lead-off bomb of the year and the fifth lead-off blast of the season for Sugar Land.

However, Reno responded in the bottom of the first with a five-run frame, including a two-RBI single from Trey Mancini as the Space Cowboys fell into an early 5-1 hole.

Sugar Land answered in the top of the second. Luis Castro walked and Luis Guillorme reached on an error before Bastidas slashed an RBI single into right. In the ensuing at-bat, Omar Narváez scored Guillorme with a base knock as the Space Cowboys made it a 5-3 game. Later in the inning, after Taylor Trammell lifted a sacrifice fly into left, Brice Matthews knotted the game up at five as he muscled an RBI single into center to plate Colin Barber.

Reno retook the lead in the home half of the second with a two-out three-run homer from Blaze Alexander.

The pendulum swung back in Sugar Land's direction in the top of the third as Bastidas kept the inning alive with a two-out double before Barber punched an RBI single to left as the Space Cowboys pulled closer, 8-6.

Reno scored two more in the fourth, including a solo home run from Alexander as Sugar Land went behind, 10-6.

The Space Cowboys loaded the bases with nobody out in the fifth as Guillorme and Bastidas led off the frame with singles while Narváez walked. Although Sugar Land grounded into a double play, they scored a run, whittling down the deficit to 10-7.

RHP Rhett Kouba helped keep the Space Cowboys within striking distance, firing 4.0 innings of relief and allowing just one earned run.

Trammell led off the sixth with a double, his first hit with Sugar Land during his Major League rehab. With two outs in the inning, Castro clobbered a double deep to center field, pulling the Space Cowboys within two.

RHP Jordan Weems came on in the seventh and held the Aces off the board with a scoreless frame and two punchouts.

While RHP Luis Contreras did not allow a run in the eighth, the final nine Space Cowboys were set down in order, leading to Sugar Land's 10-8 defeat.
