The Sugar Land Space Cowboys rallied for five runs in the eighth inning to come back and beat the Oklahoma City Comets, 5-2, Friday night at Constellation Field. Luken Baker put the Comets (30-31/76-60) ahead in the fourth inning with a solo home run. OKC added to its lead in the sixth inning when Esteury Ruiz stole third base and scored on a throwing error during the play. Sugar Land (29-29/68-65) did not have a hit until the seventh inning and left the bases loaded that frame as the Comets still led, 2-0. The Space Cowboys then plated five runs in the eighth inning to take the lead. Collin Price hit a solo homer before Kenedy Corona tied the game with a two-out RBI single. A wild pitch allowed the go-ahead run to score, and Zach Cole added a two-run triple to bury the Comets.
