NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (May 31, 2026) - The Frisco RoughRiders took down the Arkansas Travelers 2-1 on Sunday afternoon from Dickey-Stephens Park, completing a 3-2 series win.
Arkansas (30-20) scored first on RoughRiders starter Dylan MacLean with back-to-back hits in the fourth inning to take a 1-0 lead. MacLean allowed just the one run over 5.0 innings, striking out a season-best seven batters.
Frisco (26-23) then tied the game in the fifth on Rafe Perich's first Double-A home run, a solo shot to right field, and took a 2-1 lead on a Perich RBI single in the seventh inning against Marcelo Perez (0-1).
The Frisco bullpen threw scoreless baseball the rest of the way with Bryan Magdaleno (1-0), Ricardo Velez, Blake Townsend and Wilian Bormie throwing scoreless outings. Bormie retired only one batter, the last batter of the game, to secure his second save of the season.
Notes to Know:
- Dylan Dreiling's 11-game hitting streak came to an end, but he walked to reach for a 20th-straight game.

About the RoughRiders
The Frisco RoughRiders are the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers and the 2022 Texas League champions. In 2023, the team celebrated its 20th anniversary and has consistently finished in the top five among all Double-A franchises in attendance yearly. In August 2014, the RoughRiders were purchased by an ownership group led by Chuck Greenberg. Since then, the new ownership group, together with the City of Frisco, has spearheaded numerous major franchise enhancements, investing over $8 million in a wide array of facility upgrades and improvements, including a state-of-the-art HD video board, sound system, Bull Moose Saloon, Bullpen Bar, Riders Outpost Team Store and the world's largest water feature in a sports facility, the massive Lazy River. These enhancements earned the Riders and the City of Frisco Ballpark Digest's prestigious "Best Ballpark Renovation" award for two consecutive years (2015 and 2016). More than 225 former RoughRiders players have gone on to play Major League Baseball including current Rangers Jack Leiter, Evan Carter and Wyatt Langford.
