FRISCO, Texas - Trevor Hauver hammered a pair of two-run homers to right field but the Midland RockHounds scored eight runs in the ninth inning to beat the Frisco RoughRiders 13-4 on Wednesday at Riders Field.
In a game delayed 1:10 by weather, Midland (6-2, 38-39) took a 5-0 lead on a pair of home runs before Frisco (4-4, 35-41) pulled within 5-4 on Hauver's homers.
Hauver's blasts came off the bat at 111 and 110 miles per hour. His fourth-inning homer put the Riders on the board and he replicated the effort in the sixth inning, once again following a leadoff hit from a teammate.
