AMARILLO, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders fell 11-10 in a wild, rain-shortened game to the Amarillo Sod Poodles from HODGETOWN on Thursday night. Two pitches after an RBI single from Corbin Carroll gave the Sod Poodles the lead in the bottom of the fifth with one out, the game went into delay and it was announced as a final contest after a 1 hour, 44-minute delay.

The RoughRiders (28-26) struck first on the offensive side in the first inning when Justin Foscue blasted a 448-foot home run to left field to make it 1-0. After Dustin Harris was hit by a pitch and stole second base, he came into score on a Sandro Fabian RBI double and the Riders extended their lead to 2-0.

Amarillo (26-28) struck back in the bottom of the first with an RBI groundout from Eduard Diaz and a Leandro Cedeno two-run homer to jump the Riders 3-2.

Frisco charged back in the second when Foscue ripped a two-run single to left, scoring Kellen Strahm and Jax Biggers, to put the Riders up 4-3.

A pair of RBI hits, a double from Elvis Peralta and an RBI single by Jorge Barrosa, allowed Amarillo to take the lead right back at 5-4 in the bottom of the second.

The third inning brought more runs for the Riders. Blaine Crim smashed a solo homer to right, his 11th of the season, before Trey Hair lashed his third home run of the series, a two-run blast, to put Frisco up 7-5.

Amarillo then tied the game at 7-7 with a pair of runs in the third, both scoring on an infield single from Roby Enriquez.

In the fourth, Harris started the scoring with an RBI double before Crim lifted a sacrifice fly to left and Fabian capped a 3-for-3 night with an RBI single to put Frisco out in front 10-7.

Carroll hammered a two-run home run in the fourth and then - after the Riders were held off of the board in the top of the fifth - Peralta tied the game with an RBI single and Carroll had the go-ahead single in the home half of the fifth before the delay.

Tai Tiedemann (1-3) was handed the loss in relief for Frisco while Josh Green (1-1) took home the win for the Sod Poodles.
