FRISCO, Texas (May 24, 2026) - The Frisco RoughRiders seized a series split against the San Antonio Missions with an 8-1 Sunday win, fueled by Dylan MacLean’s first career quality start.

Frisco (23-21) scored in the first inning for the 20th time in 44 games, getting to Miguel Mendez (1-1) with a Keith Jones II RBI single for a 1-0 lead. The Riders jumped up 3-0 on San Antonio (17-28) in the second when Orlando Martinez singled in two.

MacLean (4-0) allowed a single run in the fourth inning, but pitched a career-high six innings, surrendering just five hits and one walk. The lefty left with a 3-1 Riders’ lead.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Riders put the game on ice with a five-run frame, highlighted by an Arturo Disla three-run home run over the centerfield wall. When the dust settled, Frisco led 8-1.

Eric Loomis, Ryan Lobus and Ricardo Velez secured the win with three scoreless innings out of the bullpen.

Notes to Know:

  • Martinez tallied a three-hit game out of the ninth spot in the batting order, including his first triple of 2026.
