SUGAR LAND, TEXAS- The Sugar Land Skeeters remained unbeaten on Monday with a 5-2 win over Alvin Community College at Constellation Field. James Parr earned the win by pitching a perfect seventh-inning while striking out a pair. John Lujan pitched the tenth of a scheduled ten-inning game to earn his second save of the preseason schedule.
After battling to a 2-2 tie through the first six innings, Sugar Land pushed across the go-ahead run in the seventh. Edwin Gomez led off the frame with a single before stealing second. A Dustin Martin groundout to the right-side allowed Gomez to advance to third when Brooks Conrad hammered a ball off the glove of Alvin's first basemen to push across the eventual winning run.
