SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders won their sixth-straight game on Thursday night, dropping the San Antonio Missions 5-2 from Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium.
Box Score
Frisco (31-17) scored in the first inning on Thursday for the fourth time in their last five games when Josh Hatcher plated a run on an RBI fielder's choice. Keyber Rodriguez then added a run on an RBI double to make it 2-0.
San Antonio (22-25) fought back with a run in the bottom of the first when Brandon Valenzuela singled home Clay Dungan against Frisco starter Ben Anderson (3-3). Anderson allowed just two runs over his five innings to earn the win, allowing five hits while walking three and striking out two.
