On Saturday, the Skeeters won 11-1, taking the first two games of this three-game series. A wild Wade Korpi gave up three in the first and Adam Godwin leadoff the fourth with a homerun, as the Skeeters jumped out in front to a 4-0 lead. It was a five run fifth that put the game out of reach though, highlighted by a Reid Gorecki grand slam, to put Sugar Land up 9-0. The Skeeters scored two in the ninth on the third and fourth errors of the night for Southern Maryland and were in front 11-0. They finally allowed a run themselves in the bottom of the ninth to All-Star Cyle Hankerd who homered, to break up a string of 17 consecutive scoreless innings in this series, but go on to win by ten.
