Albuquerque Isotopes News Release


Albuquerque, NM - Sugar Land's Quincy Hamilton belted two homers and drove in three RBI to go along with Pedro Leon's two-run clout while the Space Cowboys bullpen held off two Isotopes rallies to even the series at a game a piece with a 5-4 victory Wednesday night at RGCU Field.

Topes Scope: - With the loss, the Isotopes fall to 4-9 in one run ballgames and 3-5 at home. The club has lost four-straight one-run contests. Their last win came on May 6 in a 10-9 triumph over Sugar Land.

-All five of Sugar Land's runs came via the longball.

-The Isotopes failed to win two-straight over the Space Cowboys after winning last night's game, 11-7. The club has not won two-straight over Sugar Land since June 28-29, 2022, a span of 25 games.

-Albuquerque is 3-9 over their last 12 games, since they last won two-straight from May 23-24.

-The Isotopes pitching staff fanned five batters on the night, tied for the fifth-fewest this season (three times).

-Offensively, Albuquerque went down in order five times on the night. Additionally, the Isotopes managed more than two baserunners in just one frame.
