Palumbo, Phillips on the mound for Frisco Sunday

Frisco pitchers were the highlight of the day today, as the Roughriders had a doubleheader today, with Tyler Phillips going in game one and Joe Palumbo in game two.

Phillips continued to find the Texas League much tougher sledding than the Carolina League, giving up 5 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks in 3 IP, striking out 4. As a guy who relies quite a bit on command, Phillips is going to have to get a handle on where he needs to locate his pitches with more advanced hitters, and so some growing pains are to be expected.
