Arkansas Travelers News Release

Frisco, TX-The Arkansas Travelers hit three consecutive home runs in the ninth inning but came up a run short falling to the Frisco RoughRiders 8-7. The game featured a combined 16 walks and two hit batsmen. Frisco ran out of available pitchers in the final inning and had to turn to reserve catcher Jordan Procyshen on the mound to secure the game's final out.

Moments That Mattered

* David Garcia busted the game open for the RoughRiders in the sixth inning with a bases loaded double that scored three and put the Riders up by four.

* Three straight solo homers by Zach DeLoach, Jake Scheiner and Joe Rizzo opened the ninth inning and cut the Travs' deficit to one. But the next three hitters were retired in order to end the comeback attempt.

Notable Travs Performances

* 1B Jake Scheiner: 3-4, BB, run, HR, 3 RBI

* RHP Levi Stoudt: L, 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 3 K

News and Notes

* The three consecutive homers were the first time the Travs had done that since May 20, 2017 (Tyler Marlette, Marcus Littlewood, Joey Wong).

* Frisco started right-hander Jack Leiter, the #2 pick in last year's draft in his pro debut. Leiter pitched three innings and allowed one run on one hit and two walks with seven strikeouts.

Up Next

Arkansas looks to avoid the sweep on Sunday with right-hander Stephen Kolek on the mound against lefty Cole Ragans. First pitch is set for 4:05 and the game will be broadcast on 93.3 The Fish, the First Pitch App and milb.tv.
