Roby struck out three in four innings without a run allowed. Once he exited, the Sod Poodles (17-22) scored one run in each of the next three innings. The RoughRiders (17-21) still won four of six games in the series.
Marc Church (2-3) allowed one run in the sixth inning for the go-ahead tally. Amarillo's starter Chad Patrick (1-5) gave up one run in 5.2 innings for the win. Christian Montes De Oca pitched a three-up, three-down ninth inning for the save.
The RoughRiders scored the first run of the game in the second inning when Kellen Strahm led off with a single, Dustin Harris doubled and Trevor Hauver recorded a sacrifice fly. Frisco did not score the rest of the game and Hauver's fifth-inning single was the only hit after the second inning.
