RoughRiders Pull Away from Missions in 10-0 Victory

3:34 AM UTC

SAN ANTONIO (July 24, 2026) — A five-run fifth inning, a strong rehab start from major leaguer Cody Bradford and a solid relief outing from Aidan Curry catapulted the Frisco RoughRiders (15-10) to a 10-0 win over the San Antonio Missions (11-14). Sebastian Walcott, the No. 1 prospect in the Texas Rangers organization, also recorded four hits, drove in two runs and scored three times in the RoughRiders’ blowout win.

Missions starter Ian Koenig matched Bradford through three scoreless innings, but Frisco struck in the fourth. Walcott manufactured a rally almost entirely by himself when he beat out an infield single, stole second, advanced to third on a groundout and then scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Arturo Disla. This gave Frisco a 1-0 lead. 

Koenig retired the first two batters in the fifth before things fell apart. Five hits and a pair of errors assisted the RoughRiders as they opened up a 6-0 lead. Frainyer Chavez, Walcott and Dylan Dreiling each drove in runs. 

Frisco added four throughout the night and even faced Missions catcher Chris Sargent Jr., who tossed 1.1 scoreless innings before the night came to an end. For the Missions, they finished the night without scoring, making it 20 consecutive scoreless innings.
