Roadtrip Ends with 10 Inning Loss at Frisco

Frisco, TX-The Arkansas Travelers (27-28) never trailed until the final swing of the game on Sunday night, dropping a 5-4 decision to the Frisco RoughRiders (19-37) in 10 innings. It was the fifth extra inning game of the season for the Travs, all on the road. The Travs had early leads at 1-0 and 4-1 but neither side scored after the fifth inning until Frisco's winner in the tenth. The RoughRider bullpen shutout the Travs for six innings with just three hits. Frisco won the series, two games to one and forced the Travs into a .500 roadtrip at 3-3. Arkansas remains just one-half game back of division leading Springfield with all four North Division clubs within 1.5 games of first.
