(SUGAR LAND, Texas) - Despite back-to-back home runs to put the Sugar Land Space Cowboys out in front in the sixth, the Round Rock Express went on to win 4-2 in 10 innings Thursday night at Constellation Field.

JJ Matijevic and Korey Lee provided the back-to-back home runs to give the Space Cowboys a 2-1 lead in the sixth. It was Matijevic's team-leading fourth home run of the year and it traveled 404 feet to right-center, leaving his bat at 110 mph. He's tied for second in the Pacific Coast League in home runs.

For Lee, the Houston Astros' No. 2-ranked prospect, per MLB.com, it was his first career Triple A home run. Lee has hit safely in five straight games, notching at least one extra-base hit in each game.

Round Rock knotted the game up with a solo home run in the ninth from Sam Huff and tallied a pair in the 10th to finish out the win.

Brandon Bielak made his first start of the year and struck out six batters through four innings of work, allowing just one run on three hits. Jon Olczak struck out four through two innings in direct relief of Bielak.

Peter Solomon is set to take the mound for the Space Cowboys at 7:05 p.m. on Friday, with Round Rock scheduled to start Glenn Otto.
