SUGAR LAND, TX - RHP Miguel Ullola's (W, 7-4) 6.0 no-hit innings keyed the Sugar Land Space Cowboys (26-29, 65-65) to a 5-1 series-opening win over the Oklahoma City Comets (30-28, 76-57) on Tuesday night at Constellation Field. Tuesday was the fifth time this season Ullola has gone 5.0 innings or more allowing one hit or less and the first time in his career going 6.0 innings without allowing a hit.

After Ullola tossed a scoreless top half of the first, the Space Cowboys jumped out in front in the bottom half. Zach Dezenzo was hit by a pitch with two outs, and in the ensuing at-bat, Zach Cole cracked a two-run homer 394 feet off RHP Roki Sasaki (L, 0-2) to push Sugar Land ahead, 2-0. Later in the inning, Shay Whitcomb walked before Jon Singleton scorched a two-run home run to right that traveled 424 feet as the Space Cowboys doubled their lead, 4-0.

Ullola continued rolling as he worked around a one-out walk in the second, faced the minimum in the third and added two more strikeouts to his ledger during a shutout top half of the fourth. The right-hander capped off his outing by retiring seven-straight batters from the fourth to the sixth including back-to-back clean innings in the fifth and sixth. Ullola went 6.0 no-hit innings with four walks and seven strikeouts.

Although Oklahoma City plated a run in the top of the seventh, the Space Cowboys cancelled it out in the home half. Zack Short led off the frame with a walk, went first-to-third on a single off the left-field wall from Collin Price and scored on a double play.

RHP Jayden Murray posted a scoreless eighth and RHP Luis Contreras closed out Sugar Land's 5-1 victory with a shutout ninth.
