FRISCO, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders were defeated by the San Antonio Missions 6-2 on Tuesday evening from Riders Field.

San Antonio (22-23, 53-60) erupted for four runs in the opening frame against Frisco (24-22, 68-47) starter Ben Anderson (5-7). Romeo Sanabria started the scoring with an RBI single before an RBI single by Cole Cummings and a two-run homer from Marcos Castanon made it a 4-0 game.

The Riders cut into the deficit in the home half of the third inning as Cooper Johnson scored from third on a 4-6-3 double play.

Anderson, after allowing 4 runs in his first frame of work, settled in to finish after 5.2 innings of five-run baseball in which he surrendered nine hits and two walks with three strikeouts. Seth Clark entered with the bases loaded and picked up an inning-ending strikeout, but not before a wild pitch allowed Cummings to score to extend the Missions lead to 5-2.
