For Frisco, Hans Crouse was the starter and made his season debut. He went one inning before handing the ball off to Jake Latz. Latz and Crouse combined for four no-hit innings of their own. Missions' catcher Juan Fernandez broke up the no-hitter with a fifth inning single.
The RoughRiders broke up the Missions' no-hit bid in the top of the seventh inning. Lead-off man Diosbel Arias dropped a fly ball into right field for a base hit.
Following the hit in the seventh, Frisco ended up with runners on first and second with one out after a walk to Jordan Procyshen. Henry Henry came on to pitch and walked the first batter he faced which loaded the bases. After a pop out, Henry threw a wild pitch which scored the game's first and only run.
The Missions threatened in the bottom of the eighth inning. Olivier Basabe reached on a single. Jack Suwinski drew a walk which put two runners on with one out. The rally ended on back-to-back strikeouts.
