Riders Take Game 1 from Missions

FRISCO-Ariel Jurado continued his mastery of the Missions as the Roughrider right-hander helped Frisco to a 4-3 win in the series opener Wednesday night at Dr. Pepper Ballpark.

San Antonio plated three runs in the eighth after Jurado departed.
Ty France swatted a mammoth two-run homer to left to cut the deficit to 4-3.
Garrett Reed worked a 1-2-3 ninth to register his ninth save with the Roughriders.
