Frisco RoughRiders News Release
TULSA, OKLAHOMA (August 19, 2015) - Lars Anderson's solo home run in the fourth inning proved the difference as the Tulsa Drillers evened the series with a 2-1 win against the Frisco RoughRiders on Wednesday at ONEOK Field.
Frisco starter Edwar Cabrera (4-2) allowed two runs on six hits over eight innings, but was the tough-luck loser in the one-run contest. Anderson led off the fourth inning with his 12th home run of the season to give the Drillers a 2-1 lead.
Tulsa quickly jumped on the board in the bottom of the first inning. Leadoff hitter Ronald Torreyes tripled to left and scored one batter later on a sacrifice fly from Peter Lavin.
Trailing 1-0, outfielder Zach Cone led off the third with a double. Luis Marte reached on a fielder's choice after Anderson decided to throw to third, but not in time, and the Riders had runners on the corners and none out. But, after a popup, Marte was picked off first base and there were two outs. Luis Mendez worked a two-out walk and with Lewis Brinson batting, a balk was called on Tulsa starter Julio Urias, allowing Cone to score and tie the game.
Urias (3-4) struck out eight over six innings and picked up his third win for the Drillers. The left-hander was making his second consecutive start against the Riders.
