Arkansas took the lead by a wide margin in the second with a seven-run inning as Nate Sutton and Hank Conger each hit two-run doubles. Arkansas stretched their lead to 10-1 in the fourth on a three-run homer by Brian Stavisky. Borbon hit a homer in the sixth and had an RBI single in the seventh to make the score 10-3.

Borbon and Tracy provided most of Frisco's offense with two hits each.

Game four, which was originally schedule for Saturday, has been rescheduled for Sunday at 6 p.m. because of inclement weather. LHP Derek Holland, who started game one for the RoughRiders, will get the start in game four and will be matched up with Arkansas' Dan Denham.
