(SUGAR LAND, Texas) - The Sugar Land Space Cowboys eclipsed 200 runs in August as they wrapped up their most successful month of the year with another win.

Korey Lee hit his sixth homer in his last seven games as the Space Cowboys defeated the Albuquerque Isotopes, 8-6, Wednesday night at Constellation Field.

The Space Cowboys finished August with 205 runs, which led all full-season teams in Minor League Baseball. They also led all full-season MiLB teams with a .898 OPS and finished with a 17-8 record in August.

Corey Julks hit a leadoff home run to give the Space Cowboys an early lead, also giving him a team-leading 24 home runs on the season. Julks drew a bases-loaded walk in the second, leading into a four-run third inning.

Korey Lee drove in the first run of the third with an RBI single, Marty Costes followed with an RBI double and Alex De Goti capped it with a two-run single.

Albuquerque tied the game at 6-6 in the top of the fourth, and Taylor Jones gave the Space Cowboys the lead for good in the bottom half of the inning with an RBI double.

Lee punctuated the win with his 10th home run in August, which led the Pacific Coast League. It was also his 20th home run of the year, as he joined Julks and Lewis Brinson as 20-homer players with the Space Cowboys this season. Lee was fifth in the PCL with a 1.087 OPS in August.

Josh James, Jon Olczak, Nick Hernandez, Parker Mushinski and Enoli Paredes combined for five scoreless innings of relief to finish the game.

Wynton Bernard and Dom Nuñez helped lead the Albuquerque offense, each driving in two runs.

Tuesday's series opener was postponed due to unplayable field conditions. The teams will play game two of the series at 7:05 p.m. on Thursday at Constellation Field, with Brett Conine set to face Albuquerque righty Zach Neal.
