Alejandro Osuna knotted the game up 1-1 in the home half of the third with a solo home run, #6 at Double-A, to right field.
One day removed from his 26th birthday, Josh Hatcher grounded a go-ahead single up the middle in the bottom of the fifth to give Frisco the lead. The knock would prove to be the difference across the rest of the night.
Mason Fox, the first man out of the bullpen for the Wind Surge, retired all six men he faced through the sixth and seventh innings, with the former frame coming on three strikeouts. The appearance marked his first at Riders Field since August 12, 2022, when he played for the San Antonio Missions under the San Diego Padres organizational umbrella.
