Matt Lawson flied to center field to end the game.
ANOTHER STRONG ARM: Frisco's bullpen has played a large part in helping the team stay atop the Texas League South. One of the newest additions is hard-throwing righty,
Josh
Lueke. Since being promoted from Hickory on 5/21, Lueke has appeared in 6 games and has 13 strikeouts in 7.2 innings. His SO/9 ratio is 15.3. He had 10 saves in 17 appearances for Hickory this year and struck out 36 in 19.2 innings for a SO/9 ratio of 16.5. His fastball has reached 97 and 98 mph consistently this year.
JUNE SWOON?: The 'Riders are 3-4 in June and have lost three straight games. The pitching staff has given up a combined 21 runs over the last two games. The starting pitchers have a combined 25.11 ERA (13 ER/4.2 IP).
POWER OUTAGE: After hitting 28 home runs in the first two months, the 'Riders have only hit one home run so far in June (2-run HR by Matt Lawson on 6/10 vs. San Antonio). Frisco hit 9 home runs in 21 April games. The 'Riders hit 19 homers in 29 May games. The 'Riders are 16-5 when hitting a home run in 2010.

SATURDAY'S STARTER: Blake Beavan (8-3, 2.82) will be looking to start another long winning streak. The big righty went 6-0 in May, but lost his last start on 6/06 at Tulsa. He went seven innings and allowed three runs on eight hits. The 'Riders fell 4-1 to the Drillers, but Beavan did extend his quality start streak to six games.
