Feliz went five innings, allowing just one earned run on six hits while striking out six. Brennan Garr and Trey Hodges each allowed a run in relief. Van Hekken walked only one and struck out six in his eight frames.
Julio Borbon singled to extend his hitting streak to 18 games, a season-best for any RoughRider.
The RoughRiders and Rockhounds will begin a three game set beginning tomorrow as LHP Zack Parker will toe the rubber for Frisco. The game is set for 7:00 p.m. and will be broadcast on TXA 21.
