After being held scoreless through five innings, Frisco plated two runs in the sixth frame when Craig Gentry scored on a single by Dustin Majewski who then scored on a Chad Tracy RBI single. The RoughRiders held a 2-0 lead until the eighth when the Hooks tied the score at two on a pair of RBI singles. In the bottom of the ninth, Corpus Christi's Collin DeLome doubled and came around to score on a single by Einertson.

Although Frisco starter Omar Poveda left the game without giving up a run, Beau Vaughan allowed the two inherited runners to score.
