Shay Whitcomb’s second multi-home run game of the season propels Space Cowboys to 6-4 victory over the Reno Aces


The Space Cowboys left-fielder Shay Whitcomb homered in the first and sixth innings for his tenth and eleventh bombs on the season to give Sugar Land a 6-4 win at home.


With the win, the Space Cowboys are on a six game win streak and improve to 22-18 on the season.


Sugarland’s relief pitcher Jayden Murray pitched out of a jam in the final inning with runners on first and second and recorded the save.


Starting pitcher Forrest Whitley came out of the bullpen in the sixth inning and earned the win on his first rehab assignment appearance this season. He recorded two strikeouts and allowed no hits in his one inning in relief.


Starting pitcher Tyler Ivey pitched five innings for the Space Cowboys and allowed four earned runs on nine hits and ended with five strikeouts.


With the bases loaded in the first inning, the Aces struck first with a grand slam by first baseman Trey Mancini.


The Space Cowboys rallied for two runs in the first, third and sixth innings to win the game.


Despite being out-hit 12-10, Sugar Land overcame an early 4-0 deficit to defeat the Reno Aces in game one of a five-game homestand.
