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. Evan Carter and Luisangel Acuña singled each frame, respectively, to set the table for Hauver.

Hauver had snapped a 12-game hitting streak on Tuesday but extended a 14-game on-base streak on Wednesday.

The bullpen kept the game close, starting with Aidan Anderson in the fifth. He delivered two innings without a run and handed off to Nick Starr. The right-hander set down the RockHounds in order and gave way to Justin Slaten, who posted a scoreless eighth inning.

Batting out of the nine-hole for Frisco, Jax Biggers went 2-for-4 for the second straight game to open the series.
