On the offensive side, after Jonah Bride homered in the fourth for Midland (2-4) to make it 1-0, Ryan Dorow laced a two-run single to right, giving the Riders the lead in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Frisco then tacked on when Jordan Procyshen, who went 3-for-3, hit an RBI single in the sixth. The Riders added a sacrifice fly from Diosbel Arias in the eighth, increasing the lead to 4-1.
