CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - Ryan Garcia tossed six no-hit innings and the Frisco RoughRiders blanked Corpus Christi Hooks 6-0 in a one-hitter on Tuesday at Whataburger Field.

Garcia struck out six over six innings, walking two. He induced a double play ball to end the third inning and faced just one over the minimum overall. He is the first Frisco (19-15, 50-52) pitcher to last more than 5.1 innings in a start since Garcia himself went seven innings in Corpus Christi (19-15, 52-51) on June 10th.

Reid Birlingmair kept the shutout alive in the eighth and ninth innings, although he did allow one hit in the seventh to end the no-hitter. He faced one over the minimum while striking out the side in the seventh and going 1-2-3 in the eighth.

Triston Polley pitched a hitless ninth inning to complete the one-hitter.

The Riders scored in the first inning on a two-out rally started by Trevor Hauver. With the bases empty, two outs and an 0-2 count, Hauver came back to work a walk, advanced to second on a passed ball and scored on Kellen Strahm's single.

Frisco added to the lead with Frainyer Chavez's home run to left field in the fifth. The solo shot to lead off the inning was his first long ball since joining the club last week.

Josh Hatcher's sacrifice fly extended the lead to 3-0 in the 6th inning to score Hauver, who tacked on one more run the next inning on a two-out single to bring home Chris Seise.

In the ninth inning, Hauver recorded a sac fly and David Garcia picked up an RBI on a bases-loaded hit by pitch.

Frisco stays in Corpus Christi for the second game of the series on Wednesday, August 9th at 6:35 p.m. RHP Nick Krauth (3-8, 6.98 ERA) pitches for Frisco, while RHP Rhett Kouba (7-4, 3.57 ERA) does the same for the Hooks.

Frisco returns to Riders Field for a six-game series against the Tulsa Drillers that begins Tuesday, August 15th at 7:05 p.m.. Get your tickets now at RidersBaseball.com or call 972.731.9200.
