Let's finish up one game in Clinton and then play another!

Round Rock 5, Omaha 0

W- Framber Valdez (1-0)
L- Zach Lovvorn (3-8)

RR home runs: None.

The Express scored in just one inning but it was more than enough for them to get the victory.

All five of their runs came in the 6th as they capitalized on a bases-loaded situation. Taylor Jones scored the first run of the night on a wild pitch. After Josh Rojas hit into a fielder's choice and Drew Ferguson walked to re-load the bases, Kyle Tucker came through with a two-run single and then Ferguson scored on an errant pickoff throw. Tucker scored the final run of the night on another wild pitch. He and Jack Mayfield had two hits apiece.

Framber Valdez allowed four hits, walked three, and struck out ten over 6.2 shutout innings. Ralph Garza Jr. finished off the shutout by allowing a hit, walking one, and striking out two over the final 2.1 innings.

Brady Rodgers will be on the mound for game four and he'll take on Eric Skoglund at 7:05.

Matt Ruppenthal went five innings and allowed an RBI single, walked four, and struck out six. José Bravo got the last four innings and allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits (solo homer) and struck out four.

Freúdis Nova opened the scoring by ripping an RBI double in the 1st and he wound up scoring on an errant throw down to third after he stole the base. He doubled again in the 3rd and scored on Oscar Campos' infield single. Nova hit his third double of the game in the 7th and came home on a single from Jonathan Lacroix. Alex McKenna lashed a two-run double later in the 7th. Freúdis, McKenna, and César Salazar all finished with three hits on the evening while Lacroix and Carlos Machado had two hits apiece.
