Cavan Biggio and Joey Loperfido each launched a home run before Tommy Sacco Jr. drew a walk-off walk in the bottom of the 10th inning as the Sugar Land Space Cowboys (17-6, 49-48) rallied for a 6-5 victory over the Nashville Sounds (11-12, 54-44), their second straight extra-innings win, in the 1,000th game at Constellation Field.

Trailing 5-3 entering the bottom of the 10th, Sugar Land mounted another late rally. Joey Loperfido opened the inning with a single to put runners on the corners before Shay Whitcomb ripped an RBI double to bring the Space Cowboys within one. Raynel Delgado was intentionally walked to load the bases, and Garret Guillemette worked a bases-loaded walk to force in the tying run. Sacco Jr. followed by drawing his second walk of the day, completing Sugar Land's comeback victory.

The Space Cowboys struck first in the opening inning as Biggio launched a leadoff home run, his 15th of the season, giving Sugar Land an early 1-0 advantage. Loperfido extended the lead in the third, leading off the inning with a solo home run to put the Space Cowboys in front 2-0.

Nashville captured the lead in the fourth. After a single put a runner on base, Darrien Miller and Brock Wilken connected on back-to-back home runs to give the Sounds their first lead of the night at 3-2.

RHP Brandon McPherson kept Sugar Land in the game, matching his longest outing of the season by throwing five innings and allowing three runs on four hits while striking out four. LHP Bryan King made his first appearance of the season with the Space Cowboys and fired a scoreless sixth inning with one strikeout.

Sugar Land rallied in the bottom of the sixth to even the score. Trenton Brooks led off with a single before Raynel Delgado worked a walk. Edwin Díaz then lined an RBI single to score Brooks and tie the game at 3-3.

The bullpen continued to hold the Sounds in check as RHP Cody Bolton and RHP Christian Roa combined for two perfect innings. Bolton retired the side on three fly outs in the seventh before Roa struck out two in the eighth. RHP Roddery Muñoz followed with a scoreless ninth, sending the game to extra innings.

Nashville regained the lead in the top of the 10th with two runs, but the Space Cowboys answered with three in the bottom half to complete their second consecutive walk-off victory and take a two-game series lead.
