TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE: There is still time for you to be a part of this exciting home stand. For ticket information, call the RoughRiders at (972) 731-9200.
THE MATCHUPS: The 'Riders trail only San Antonio in the Texas League South, and the club will have an opportunity to climb into first place with a four-game series against San Antonio. The Missions now have a pair of former RoughRiders, as Robbie Erlin and Joe Wieland were part of the deal that helped the Rangers acquire big league reliever Mike Adams.
After the off day Tuesday, the RoughRiders delve back into the North Division and square off with Northwest Arkansas and Tulsa. This season, Frisco owns a 4-2 record against the Naturals and a 5-1 mark against the Drillers.
TWO FIREWORKS SHOWS: Fans at Dr Pepper Ballpark will be treated to a fireworks show after the two Friday games during this home stand (August 5 and August 12). The first display is brought to you by Penny Pinchers Insurance, and the second show is made possible by our friends at Cinemark.
