FRISCO, Texas (July 19, 2026) - With a four-run eighth-inning rally, the Frisco RoughRiders flipped the score and beat the Tulsa Drillers 6-4 Sunday at Riders Field, taking the series and season series in the process.
In just his third game back from offseason internal brace surgery, Sebastian Walcott laced a solo home run in the first inning to supply Frisco (12-9, 51-38) with a 1-0 lead against Tulsa (12-9, 58-32) starter Myles Caba.
Immediately in the second inning, the Drillers responded with three runs to take the lead against Blake Townsend, including a home run from Hayden Gilliland.
Down 4-2 into the eighth inning, Frisco loaded the bases with no outs against Christian Ruebeck (0-1) after hits from Walcott and Dylan Dreiling. Then, Arturo Disla slapped a game-tying single into right field and Keith Jones II capped off the rally with a two-run base hit to take the lead 6-4.
In the ninth inning, Eric Loomis picked up two strikeouts and his second save.
Notes to Know:
- With the win, Frisco won the three-game series and seized the nine-game season series against Tulsa.
- Walcott now has back-to-back multi-hit games, including his first home run with Frisco this season after 13 in 2025.
- Frisco has scored 20 runs in the eighth inning across its last nine games, the most of any team in Minor League Baseball in that span.
After a day off Monday, Frisco returns to action on Tuesday, taking to the road to face the San Antonio Missions at the start of a six-game series in a 7:05 p.m. start from Nelson Wolff Stadium.
