SAN ANTONIO, Texas (April 14, 2022) – The Frisco RoughRiders used a four-run eighth inning to springboard themselves to a 6-3 win over the San Antonio Missions on Thursday night from Nelson Wolff Stadium.
Trailing 3-2, Frisco (5-1) began the eighth with an Ezequiel Duran double and had two on after Sandro Fabian walked with one out. Kellen Strahm then hit a ground ball to short that might have ended the inning on a double play, but it went under shortstop Korry Howell's glove, allowing Strahm to come into score the game-tying run. With two on and two out, Jordan Procyshen then hammered a three-run go-ahead home run, putting the Riders up 6-3.
Seth Nordlin (1-1) earned the win with two scoreless innings and Lucas Jacobsen recorded his first save of the season with a 1-2-3 ninth. The Riders have now had a save in all five of their wins this season. Carlos Belen (0-1) took the loss for San Antonio (2-4).
The RoughRiders started the scoring off in the first inning when Duran laced an RBI double down the first baseline and took a 2-0 lead on a J.P. Martinez RBI single in the second frame.
San Antonio fought back in the third inning with an RBI single from Esteury Ruiz and then tied it up at 2-2 with Mitch Walding RBI groundout.
In the sixth, the Missions took a 3-2 lead on a sacrifice fly from Brandon Dixon, setting up the comeback for Frisco.
