JP Martinez grand slam lead to RoughRiders win
A JP Martinez grand slam was all the Frisco RoughRiders needed to secure their 63rd win. They won 4-1 over the Amarillo Sod Poodles. They move to 63-53 with only three games left in the season.

Welcome to the latest edition of 'Ask The Prospect Times' or #AskTPTs. We didn't get 5 questions but that's not going to stop us from answering the ones we did get. On to the questions: #AskTPTs What did you think about seeing Wash at Young?s ceremony? ? Adam Gordon (@AdamGordon1977) September 2, 2019 I thought it was awesome of Ron Washington to show up at Young's jersey retirement ceremony. It speaks to the level of respect that he has for Young.
