FRISCO, Texas- Matt Lipka's RBI fielder's choice in the bottom of the eighth broke a 2-2 tie, sending the Frisco RoughRiders, the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, past the San Antonio Missions 3-2 in the opener of a four-game series Tuesday night at Dr Pepper Ballpark.

BIG MOMENTS With the game tied at two in the eighth, Matt Lipka drove in the go-ahead run, plating Royce Bolinger from third base on an RBI fielder's choice. Frisco had previously tied the game on an RBI single from Eric Aguilera in the bottom of the seventh. Sam Wolff earned his first victory of the season. After working out of a jam in the eighth, he escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth, striking out Jose Rondon to close out the victory. The Missions took an early 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning against Riders starter Collin Wiles on a two-run double from Alberth Martinez. Frisco cut the deficit to one run in the bottom of the second on Michael De Leon's RBI single. KEY RIDERS PERFORMERS
