FRISCO, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders were defeated by the Corpus Christi Hooks 7-1 on Saturday evening from Riders Field.

Corpus Christi (2-3, 28-46) opened the scoring in the top of the second against Frisco (3-2, 47-27) starter Dane Acker (3-3) with Zach Cole's second homer of the series, a two-run shot to right field.

The RoughRiders cut into the 2-0 deficit with a solo homer by Maximo Acosta against Tyler Guilfoil (4-6) in the bottom of the second inning, his third long ball of the season.

Leading 2-1 in the top of the fourth, Jacob Melton delivered a leadoff homer, marking his third homer in the last two games. Four batters later, Cole launched his second homer of the game, scoring Kenedy Corona. Jordan Brewer then turned on the next pitch, shooting one over the left field wall to give Corpus Christi a three-homer frame and a 6-1 lead.

In the top of the fifth inning, Zach Denzenzo padded the Hooks lead with an RBI double, giving Corpus Christi a 7-1 advantage.

Acker exited after five innings, surrendering a season-high seven runs, six earned, on nine hits (four homers) with no walks and three punchouts.

Seth Clark entered in the sixth, spinning 2.0 scoreless and hitless innings with four strikeouts before handing the ball to Andy Rodriguez. Rodriguez did not allow a baserunner in the eighth or ninth, fanning one.

Offensively, the Riders managed six hits with each coming from different players. Cody Freeman extended his hitting streak to eight games, the longest active streak in the Texas League.
