(SUGAR LAND, Texas) - The Sugar Land Space Cowboys came within feet of a walk-off victory on Saturday night vs. the Round Rock Express.

David Hensley made it a three-run game in the ninth with a pinch-hit RBI single. Alex De Goti then walked to load the bases off Round Rock right-hander Yerry Rodriguez before Julks' flyout, which left his bat at 101 mph and traveled 375 feet. Ronaldo Urdaneta came across to throwing error following a single from Julks in the eighth. Julks finished the night 2-for-4 with a double.
Round Rock powered its way to the win with home runs from Nick Tanielu, Davis Wendzel and Leody Taveras. Franklin Barreto got the Space Cowboys on the board in the fifth inning with a solo home run to right, which was his first of the season. Barreto also finished the night 2-for-4 with the home run and RBI.
