Midland rallies to beat Frisco for the second straight game, holding on for a 7-6 victory over the 'Riders on Wednesday afternoon.

Leading by a score of 6-4 in the ninth inning, the RockHounds tagged Frisco reliever Josh Lueke (1-1, 3.86) with three runs, including a two-RBI double by Shane Peterson with one out in the inning.

Frisco was able to bounce back and get on the scoreboard early against Midland. First baseman Wes Bankston connected on a three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning to give Frisco an early 3-0 lead. Second baseman Matt Lawson followed that up with a two-run shot to center field in the bottom of the second inning, staking the 'Riders to a 5-0 lead.

But for the second straight game, the 'Riders bullpen couldn't clamp down the win after entering the game with a 5-4 lead.

Ryan Tatusko (5-0, 3.04) started for Frisco and pitched five innings on the afternoon. He allowed four runs on eight hits and struck out two batters.

The RoughRiders (36-27) split the four-game series with Midland (31-33) after dropping three out of four against San Antonio last week. Frisco will begin a 12-game road trip on Thursday, with the club traveling to Corpus Christi to begin the trip.
