Frisco 4, at Midland 2

By Scott Lucas
AA: Frisco 4, at Midland 2
Record: 22-18, +2.0

Blake Beavan needed only 93 pitches to complete eight innings. Beavan walked just one, struck out two, and gave up both runs on five hits. Beavan’s been a little lucky – that .238 average on balls in play is going to be awfully tough to sustain – but he’s clearly making progress in his second run through the Texas League. He’s already surpassed last year’s 34 strikeouts in 33 fewer innings.

Matt Lawson (.320/.399/.453) went 3-5 with two RBI. RF Joey Butler (.296/.374/.447) drove in Frisco’s other runs on a double and also walked.

Super-utility player Emerson Frostad has joined Frisco. Johnny Whittleman hasn’t played in a few days because of a sore quad.
