SUGAR LAND, TX - LHP Colton Gordon turned in his second quality start of the season as the Sugar Land Space Cowboys (5-1, 37-43) wrapped up their six-game set against the El Paso Chihuahuas (1-5, 36-45) with a 2-1 victory on Sunday night at Constellation Field.

Sugar Land's offense came alive in the bottom of the sixth inning. César Salazar led off the frame with a double before Cavan Biggio connected on an RBI triple into right field, scoring the first run of the game. Trenton Brooks followed with an RBI double of his own, bringing home Biggio and extending the Space Cowboys lead to 2-0.

The Space Cowboys pitching staff turned in another commanding performance to keep El Paso off the scoreboard through the first eight innings. Gordon carried a no-hit bid into the sixth inning and ultimately allowed just one hit over 6.0 scoreless innings while striking out four. RHP Ryan Weiss followed with 3.0 innings in relief, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one.

The Chihuahuas plated a run in the top of the ninth, trimming the deficit to 2-1, but grounded out softly to second to close out the game as Sugar Land secured the series finale.
