SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders recorded five doubles and started out the second half with a wire-to-wire, 4-2 victory over the San Antonio Missions on Wednesday at Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium.

Seth Nordlin's fourth start of the year for Frisco was his best one so far. He went five innings without a walk, giving up three hits and one run. Efrain Contreras (4-5) also allowed one earned run in five innings but was charged with the loss with an unearned run also scoring in the first inning. Grant Wolfram earned the save in the ninth inning, allowing one run but preserving the lead.

Thomas Saggese extended his hit streak to 15 games - the longest active streak in all of Double-A - with an RBI double to center field in the ninth inning.

The RoughRiders' bullpen held off the Missions to keep the lead intact, starting with two hitless innings from Danny Duffy and one more from Noah Bremer.

Luisangel Acuña started the scoring in the top of the first inning for Frisco. He reached on an error, advanced to second on Evan Carter's walk, and swiped third for his league-leading 31st stolen base of the year. He scored on a wild pitch. Carter scored on Trevor Hauver's RBI double.

Nick Tanielu doubled to start a two-out rally in the eighth inning, scoring on Josh Hatcher's double with two strikes. Frisco added another insurance run in the top of the ninth with Saggese's double that scored Carter from first to make it 4-1.

Hauver and Carter both tallied three hits with a walk. Hauver tied his career high with his three hits, while Carter scored two of Frisco's four runs on the night. Jax Biggers added a double.
