The Comets continued to pull away in the fourth inning. Two walks put runners aboard before Oklahoma City launched another three-run home run, pushing its advantage to 7-0.
Sugar Land answered in the bottom half of the frame. CJ Alexander doubled and advanced to third on a groundout from Cavan Biggio before James Nelson lined an RBI single into right field, bringing home Alexander and trimming the deficit to 7-1.
Oklahoma City tacked on a run in both the fifth and sixth innings, stretching its lead to 9-1.
The Space Cowboys received strong work from their bullpen. RHP Roddery Muñoz tossed a scoreless inning, allowing just one hit. RHP Miguel Ullola also fired a scoreless frame surrendering one hit while striking out one. RHP Jaden Murray struck out the side in his own scoreless inning of work.
