SAN ANTONIO, Texas (June 2, 2024) – The Frisco RoughRiders won their ninth-straight game and completed their seven-game sweep of the San Antonio Missions on Sunday, winning 5-2 from Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium.

Box Score

After a few scoreless frames, San Antonio (22-28) scored first when Robbie Tenerowicz homered in the fourth off of Frisco (34-17) Emiliano Teodo. Teodo allowed just two runs, one earned, on three hits over five innings while walking three and striking out four.

After San Antonio took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth, Keyber Rodriguez ripped a game-tying, two-run single in the top of the sixth off to knot the game at 2-2.

After the first two reached in the seventh, Alex De Goti dropped a sacrifice bunt down against Francis Peña (0-1), but the catcher's throw got away down the left field line, allowing two runs to score and give the Riders a 4-2 advantage.

Frisco added their final run in the top of the ninth when Aaron Zavala worked a bases-loaded walk to make it 5-2.

On the mound, the Riders received scoreless work from Triston Polley (one inning), Andy Rodriguez (two) and Ricky DeVito (one) tossed a runless ninth for his second save.
