FRISCO, Texas (August 6, 2026) - The Frisco RoughRiders fell to the Midland RockHounds 4-0 from Momentum Bank Ballpark on Thursday night. 

Frisco (19-17, 58-46) starter Dylan MacLean (7-3) allowed a first-inning run to the RockHounds (17-19, 49-55), but it was unearned after an error, to make it 1-0. It was the seventh time in the last nine games the Riders had allowed a run in the first inning. 

That 1-0 score held until Luke Mann hit a solo home run to end MacLean's night in the sixth. MacLean threw 5.2 innings, allowing two runs, one earned, while striking out four and not walking a batter. 

The RockHounds then scored twice with two RoughRiders errors and a pair of hits in the seventh to boost their lead to 4-0.
