Sacramento struck first in the top of the third inning. Back-to-back singles and an RBI groundout gave the River Cats their lone run of the night.
RHP Brandon McPherson turned in a strong start for the Space Cowboys, tying a season high with 5.0 innings pitched. The right-hander scattered seven hits while allowing just one run and striking out five, keeping Sugar Land within striking distance.
The Space Cowboys answered in the bottom of the fifth. César Salazar worked a leadoff walk and advanced to second on a wild pitch before Trenton Brooks lined a double to center field, bringing home Salazar and evening the score at 1-1.
Sugar Land took control in the sixth inning. CJ Alexander singled to open the frame and Zach Dezenzo followed with a walk before Cavan Biggio reached on a fielder's choice to load the bases. Ferreras then ripped a two-run double to right, giving the Space Cowboys a 3-1 advantage. Sugar Land added two more runs later in the inning on a sacrifice fly from Salazar and a fielder's choice off the bat of Tommy Sacco Jr., extending the lead to 5-1.
The Space Cowboys bullpen took care of the rest of the game. RHP Sam Carlson (W, 3-1) fired a scoreless sixth inning while RHP JP France and LHP Tom Cosgrove each worked scoreless frames of their own. RHP Miguel Ullola closed out the victory with a scoreless ninth, securing Sugar Land's third-consecutive win.
