'Riders get back in win column

Frisco bounced back after a tough loss on Saturday night, beating Midland 7-2 on Sunday night at Dr Pepper Ballpark.

Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning, the 'Riders were able to score three runs when RockHounds center fielder, Corey Brown, dropped a routine fly-ball off the bat of Renny Osuna with two outs and the bases loaded. Frisco center fielder, James Tomlin, then doubled down the left field line to score Osuna, giving the 'Riders a 4-1 lead that it would not give up.

Martin Perez (2-3, 5.32) started for Frisco and pitched four innings, allowing one run on one hit. He walked three and struck out six. It was his first start since being placed on the disabled list on June 3rd.

Andrew Laughter (1-0, 0.00) picked up the win for Frisco after being called up from High-A Bakersfield on June 12th. He pitched two scoreless innings, giving up one hit while striking out two.

Frisco (35-25) and Midland (29-32) will play the second game of a four-game series on Monday night, with first pitch scheduled for 7 PM.
