AMARILLO, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders dropped the Amarillo Sod Poodles 5-1 on Thursday night from HODGETOWN behind strong pitching and a Jax Biggers grand slam.
The Sod Poodles (10-8) struck first in the bottom of the first inning when Ryan Bliss homered off of Frisco (9-9) starter Tekoah Roby (1-2). The solo shot was the only damage against the Riders on the night. Roby went 5.0 innings in his win, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out eight and walking one.

Grant Wolfram was brilliant out of the Frisco bullpen, tossing three shutout innings, and Antoine Kelly added a scoreless ninth.
