Bubba Thompson set the tone for the RoughRiders offense yesterday in their 3-2 win but Blaine Crim hit his 5th home run in a RoughRiders uniform and that ultimately put the RoughRiders on top.

The Riders move to 55-40 and split the series at 3-games a piece with the Arkansas Travelers (Mariners).

## On the mound

Kohei Arihara got the start pitching two scoreless innings. Cole Ragans, the scheduled starter pitched 4 innings pitching innings 3-6 and was credited with the win after allowing 2 runs, 1 earned on 2 hits, 3 walks and 5 strikeouts.

Fernery Ozuna came out for the 7th and 8th and pitched two shutout innings. He walked one and struckout 4\. It seems that has been hit best outing in a while but that's just based on memory.

Chase Lee earned his 2nd save with his scoreless inning. He struckout one and lowered his earned run average to 2.84.

### At the plate

As usual Bubba Thompson hit lead-off for the RoughRiders. He ended the game going 3-4 with a run and was the only RoughRider with a multi-hit game. He had 3 of the RoughRiders 5 hits.

Blaine Crim and Isaias Quiroz were the others that had a hit.

The RoughRiders scored all three of their runs in the bottom of the 1st. Bubba Thompson led-off with a single, then stole 2nd base. Josh Smith worked a walk. Levi Stoudt uncorked a wild pitch that allowed both runners to move up a base. Justin Foscue hit a sac-fly scoring Bubba Thompson. And then the big shot came from Blaine Crim. He sent a baseball over the wall in in centerfield for his 5th home run in a RoughRiders uniform. He's hit 25 home runs on the year including his time in Hickory.

### Defensively

The RoughRiders committed three errors.

Isaias Quiroz dropped a foul ball, Cole Ragans had a fielding error and Bubba Thompson committed a rare fielding error, just his 3rd of the season.

Bubba Thompson also stole his 21st base of the season and Josh Smith stole his 2nd base since he's been in a RoughRiders uniform.

### What's next?

The Frisco RoughRiders travel to Amarillo to take on the Sod Poodles in a six-game series at Hodgetown.
