CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS - The Frisco RoughRiders, the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, surrendered three runs in the bottom of the third and went on to lose game one of a doubleheader at Corpus Christi, 5-2, Friday evening.
The big inning came soon after the Riders (23-10) had tied the game at 2-2 in the top of the third on Ryan Cordell's ninth homer of the season. Cordell's homer puts him in a tie for the Texas League lead alongside Midland's Matt Chapman. The Hooks (18-15) countered against Frisco starter Sam Wolff (4-2) a half inning later. Six consecutive hitters reached in the inning, including Danry Vasquez on an RBI single and Chase McDonald with his two-run double.
Wolff went four innings for Frisco, giving up five runs on a career-high ten hits. Cody Palmquist worked a pair of scoreless innings out of the bullpen for the RoughRiders, striking out four.
After five innings from Corpus Christi starter Keegan Yuhl (2-1), who earned the win, Brendan McCurry earned ip the save, tossing a pair of perfect frames.
The second game of the doubleheader began just after 8:00 p.m. Right-hander David Perez (1-0, 7.50 ERA) is expected to make his first start of the season, squaring off against lefty Evan Grills, who is making his Double-A debut. Live coverage can be heard on the Frisco RoughRiders Radio Network, on the TuneIn Radio App, and the MiLB First Pitch App.
The RoughRiders next return home on Friday, May 20 to begin a four-game series against the San Antonio Missions. The homestand begins with Magic Night on the 20th, featuring Michael Grandinetti, and Saturday is Military Appreciation Night at Dr Pepper Ballpark. Tickets for those games, and the other two games of the homestand are available now online at RidersBaseball.com, via email at info@ridersbaseball.com, over the phone at (972) 731-9200, or in-person at the RoughRiders box office.
