Frisco Roughriders
The Roughriders beat the RockHounds 7-4. Ian Moller, Jax Biggers, and Keyber Rodriguez all led the team with two hits. Biggers led the team with three RBIs with a double that cleared the bases in the third inning.

Emiliano Teodo had a rough go of it in his return to Frisco. He walked the first batter then allowed a single followed by a double which allowed both runs to score. He would calm down and managed to get out of the inning without further damage by getting a pair of ground outs and a pop out. This is not what Rangers fans wanted to see from him, but it is good that he was able to limit damage.
