Frisco threatened to score in the top of the third inning. Keyber Rodriguez and Hatcher hit back-to-back singles to start the inning. The southpaw retired the next batter. With runners on the corners, Alejandro Osuna laid down a bunt which resulted in an out while Hatcher advanced to second base. Abimelec Ortiz popped out to end the inning.

Cienfuegos kept the RoughRiders off the scoreboard in four innings of work. The left-hander allowed three hits and two walks while striking out two batters. Carter Loewen took over on the mound in the fifth inning.

The RoughRiders put two runners in scoring position during the top of the sixth inning. Osuna started the frame with a base hit to right field. After retiring the next batter, Aaron Zavala reached on an infield single. A passed ball allowed both runners to advance. Loewen left them stranded after striking out the two batters.
