Although Pedro León belted two extra-base hits, including a solo home run, the Sugar Land Space Cowboys (30-30, 69-66) fell to the Oklahoma City Comets (31-32, 77-61) 7-1 on Sunday night at Constellation Field.

After RHP Miguel Ullola (L, 7-5) fired a 1-2-3 top half of the first on 12 pitches, the Space Cowboys threatened in the bottom of the first as León doubled down the left-field line and Zach Cole walked. However, the next three Sugar Land batters were retired, stranding the runners.

Oklahoma City took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second on a sacrifice fly, but Ullola responded with a clean top half of the third on eight pitches. In the bottom of the frame, León launched a lead-off homer to left, evening the score at one.
