Zach Cole hit a walk-off grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning to send the Sugar Land Space Cowboys to a 7-3 win over the Oklahoma City Comets Thursday night at Constellation Field. The Space Cowboys (28-29/67-65) had the bases empty with two outs before a single and two walks loaded the bases for Cole, who unloaded on the first pitch out to center field to win the game. Sugar Land took a 1-0 lead in the second inning before the Comets (30-30/76-59) scored twice in the fourth inning without a hit, using four walks to their advantage. After the Space Cowboys tied the game in the bottom of the fourth, Esteury Ruiz put OKC ahead with a home run in the fifth inning at 3-2. Again, the Space Cowboys tied the game in their next at-bat with a RBI single by Cole. The game remained at 3-3 until the bottom of the ninth inning, as the Comets produced just one hit over the final four innings.
