Sugar Land Space Cowboys News Release
(SUGAR LAND, Texas) - The Sugar Land Skeeters game Tuesday night against the El Paso Chihuahuas at Constellation Field was suspended in the top of the fourth inning due to inclement weather.
The Skeeters were leading the Chihuahuas, 7-1, and the game will resume at a date to be determined later this season in El Paso.
Houston Astros infielder Alex Bregman continued his MLB Rehab Assignment on Tuesday, starting at third base. Bregman lined a double in the left-field gap in his first at-bat of the night that left his bat at 103 mph. He finished the night 1-for-2, striking out in the second inning.
JJ Matijevic powered an opposite-field grand slam in the first inning. It was the fourth grand slam from the Skeeters this season and Matijevic's 17th total home run of the year (eighth since joining the Skeeters from Double A Corpus Christi).
Michael Papierski added his second home run in as many nights, a two-run shot in the third inning, giving him four homers on the year. Taylor Jones provided the other Skeeters run, driving in Bregman in the first inning on an RBI single in the first.
Right-hander Brandon Bielak made his first start of the season and allowed an unearned run on two hits over three innings, while striking out three. Brett Conine recorded an out in the fourth inning before the game was suspended.
El Paso left-hander Daniel Camarena was forced to exit the game in the first inning after being struck in the leg by a line drive from Norel Gonzalez. Evan Miller came on in relief and surrendered three runs on three hits through 1 2/3 innings. Taylor Williams, beginning an MLB Rehab Assignment, allowed two runs and struck out three through an inning of work.
Tickets for the rest of the Skeeters' 2021 regular season are on sale and can be purchased by visiting sugarlandskeeters.com/tickets.
