The Game Changed When… The game was tied at 3, and Sugar Land broke the tie in the top of the 7th inning with 3 runs. 7 hitters would come to the plate, and the offensive surge was led by a 2 run single from Albert Cordero, followed by Josh Prince sprinting home from third on a wild pitch. It gave the Skeeters a 6-3 lead at the time, which would be all that they needed to get the win.
