On Monday the Skeeters began a seven-game road trip, with the first of four against the Bridgeport Bluefish that began with a 5-3 game one win. The Skeeters jumped in front first, getting two runs in the second on a Kevin Rios double and added another run in the third on a Travis Scott homerun to go up 3-0. Both teams exchanged solo runs the rest of the way and Sugar Land goes on to win by that final. The win was a big one, as Somerset blew a late lead and the Skeeters are now up by 2 1/2 games in the Atlantic League's Freedom division, with the race for the first half playoff spot officially on, with 14 games to go.

Up Next: On Tuesday in Game 2 of this four game series, Sugar Land sends out LHP Gilbert De La Vara (0-0, 2.87) against LHP Hunter Jones (2-5, 6.79) for Bridgeport.
