TEXAS LEAGUE (DOUBLE-A)
Frisco RoughRiders 0
Midland RockHounds 7
WP: Cusick 1-1 / 2.31
RHP Ryan Cusick led the way as the RockHounds recorded a two-hit shutout win over the RoughRiders to notch their third victory in their last four games on Wednesday. The 23-year-old righty was almost unhittable, allowing just 1 hit while striking out 5 and walking 3 over 6 1/3 scoreless innings to earn the win for the RockHounds. And Cusick’s 2.31 ERA is currently good for fifth-best in the Texas League. LHP Francisco Perez, who was recently signed to a minor league deal, allowed 1 hit and struck out 3 while throwing 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief, and RHP Calvin Coker pitched a perfect 9th to close out the shutout for the Hounds. First baseman Jeremy Eierman collected 3 hits, while right fielder Lawrence Butler doubled, drew a walk, stole a base and scored twice. Third baseman Brett Harris had 2 hits, including a double, and drove in a pair, and designated hitter Greg Deichmann singled, doubled and drove in a run for the RockHounds.
