CORPUS CHRISTI - Josh Stowers hit two home runs for the Frisco RoughRiders to help defeat the Hooks, 5-4, Friday night at Whataburger Field.
The Frisco right fielder accounted for the game's first run with a solo blast off Cesar Rosado in the third inning. Stowers homered again - his 14th this season - in the seventh inning to open up a 5-2 Riders lead after the Hooks scored two in the sixth.
The Hooks drew within a run in the bottom of the seventh on RBI singles from Corey Julks and Joe Perez.

Rosado matched a season high with nine strikeouts with three earned runs over 6.0 stanzas.
