Jack Leiter earns his 1st win
Jack Leiter earned his 1st win of the season after pitching a season-high six innings. The RoughRiders pitching staff put together a complete game shutout for the first time this season as the RoughRiders win 5-0 and move to 16-10. None of that is possible without first acknowledging the brilliant start from Jack Leiter. A season-high in innings and also his 1st without any runs given up, whether earned or unearned. For me the biggest key is that he issued no walks. He only issued a 3-ball coun

10 longest home runs at Riders Field in 2021
RoughRiders fans had plenty of reason to go to Riders Field in 2021. We saw four of the Texas Rangers current top 5 ranked prospects spend time in Frisco and plenty of power. Home runs are among the most exciting things to see at the ballpark, especially no doubters. The criteria of the longest home runs at Riders Field is that the home run was hit by a RoughRider and had to travel at least 400 feet. We will start with the shortest distance and go to the longest.
