FRISCO, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders defeated the San Antonio Missions 10-4 on Friday evening from Riders Field.

Frisco (27-22, 71-47) erupted for three runs in the bottom of the first inning against San Antonio (22-26, 53-63) starter Sam Whiting. Alejandro Osuna opened the frame with a triple and later scored on an RBI single by Cody Freeman. Aaron Zavala delivered a two-run double to give Frisco a 3-0 advantage.

Nick Krauth (8-5) had his best stuff, sitting down the first eight batters he faced before allowing a harmless two-out single in the third.
