Box Score

Frisco (28-25) scored in the first for the second straight night, tallying five runs against Springfield (25-29) starter Jurrangelo Cijntje (3-3). Rafe Perich rifled a slice-shot double into left-center field to drive in two runs, erasing a 1-0 deficit for a 2-1 lead. Then, Ian Moller bombed a three-run home run off the batter’s eye in center that made it 5-1.

Dalton Pence (2-1) dealt in his fourth RoughRiders start, allowing a solo home run to Jose Cordoba, but striking out seven Cardinals across five full innings with just the two earned runs surrendered.

The RoughRiders did not have another hit after the Moller home run until the sixth inning, when Marcus Lee Sang hammered a three-run shot of his own to plant Frisco ahead 8-2.

Frisco finished the night with three more runs in the bottom of the eighth, including a two-RBI single from Dylan Dreiling, who had earlier extended his Texas League-best on-base streak to 24 games.
