Down 3-0 in the bottom of the second, the Riders cut the deficit to 3-2 with a two-RBI double from Max Wagner off Kenya Huggins (1-4).
In the bottom of the third, Ian Moller added on with a two-run double of his own, pushing Frisco in front 4-3. Dylan Dreiling doubled in one and then Julian Brock doubled in three more to give the Riders eight unanswered runs for an 8-3 lead.
Frisco carried its lead into the latter innings and, after Dustin Saenz surrendered two runs in the ninth, Jonathan Brand picked up his second save with a strikeout to strand two aboard in the 8-7 effort.
