RoughRiders Blanked 11-0 by Drillers, Slip to 2-2 in Second Half
The Frisco RoughRiders (40-32, 2-2 second half) hit a roadblock on Friday, June 27, 2025, falling 11-0 to the Tulsa Drillers at Riders Field, marking the third time they have been shutout this season.
In the fourth game of a six-game series, Frisco’s offense struggled, scraping together just 4 hits against a commanding performance by the Drillers pitching staff.
On the mound
RHP David Davalillo was originally slotted to start this game but he was placed on the Development List for undisclosed reasons—often a temporary move for skill refinement—RHP Ryan Lobus took the mound for his second start of the season:
Lobus' line: 1.2 IP, 5 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 2 SO, 45/29 strikes.
- The bullpen struggled, allowing 6 additional runs (5 earned).
- Frainyer Chavez, a position player, tossed a scoreless inning to provide relief.
Tulsa Drillers’ Pitching Dominance
- LHP Jackson Ferris: 6 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 3 BB, 7 SO, 92/64 strikes

- Keyber Rodriguez: 1 hit
- Luis Mieses: 1 hit
- Ian Moller: 1 hit
- Tucker Mitchell: 1 hit
- Sebastian Walcott: 0-for-3, 1 BB, 1 SB (17th of season)
