Frisco RoughRiders News Release


FRISCO, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders prevailed 3-2 over the Wichita Wind Surge on Friday night from Riders Field in front of a season-high 8,042 fans.

Frisco's lone extra-base hit proved to be the difference. In the bottom of the third, Abimelec Ortiz smashed a two-run homer, his third of the season, to put the Riders (15-10) up 2-0.

Wichita (15-10) then answered in the top of the fourth when Noah Cardenas roped an RBI single.

In the bottom of the fifth, Alejandro Osuna rolled an RBI groundout to lift the RoughRiders in front 3-1.

In the next half inning, Wichita loaded the bases with one out. Jake Rucker hit an RBI single, but Frisco reliever Travis MacGregor induced a line drive double play turned by Frainyer Chavez and Cam Cauley, preserving a 3-2 Riders lead.

Riders reliever Brian Magdaleno entered in the top of the eighth and allowed two baserunners with one out. He then retired two batters and pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his first save of the season.

Frisco starter Ben Anderson (1-3) earned the victory, allowing two runs across a season-high 5.1 innings. Wichita starter Connor Prielipp went 2.2 innings, allowing the Ortiz homer.
