Biggio homers again as Sugar Land routs El Paso 12-5
Biggio homered for the third straight game and Whitcomb added four RBI and three steals as Sugar Land opened the second half with a 12-5 rout.
Sugar Land beat El Paso 12-5 on Saturday at Constellation Field, with Shay Whitcomb homering and Cavan Biggio doubling and homering. The Space Cowboys moved to 1-0 in the second half and 33-42 overall, while the Chihuahuas fell to 0-1 and 35-41.
Sugar Land had to answer first after El Paso took a 1-0 lead in the opening inning, but Lucas Spence tied it with a sacrifice fly in the second for his first RBI with the Space Cowboys. Whitcomb then put Sugar Land ahead for good with a solo homer in the third, his fifth home run of the season.
Sugar Land scored five runs in the fourth, with Biggio driving in a run with a double and Whitcomb adding an RBI single. Biggio struck again in the fifth after El Paso trimmed the margin to 7-5, launching a solo home run to extend his own streak to three straight games with a homer.
Whitcomb finished 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, three runs scored, two walks and three stolen bases. His three steals tied James Nelson for the most in a game by a Space Cowboy this season, and it was the second three-steal game of Whitcomb’s career, with the first coming June 27, 2024 against Tacoma. Sugar Land added three more runs in the eighth to close out a 12-run night.
The win opened a six-game home series against El Paso, the Chihuahuas’ only trip to Constellation Field this season during the June 23-28 homestand. The Space Cowboys play their 150-game 2026 schedule from March 27 through Sept. 20, with 75 home games and 75 road games at the 7,500-seat ballpark in Sugar Land, Texas.
