HOMESTAND HIGHLIGHTS: SOD POODLES WELCOME DOUBLE-A AFFILIATE OF THE TEXAS RANGERS – FRISCO ROUGHRIDERS

AMARILLO, TX (May 27, 2025) – The Amarillo Sod Poodles will host the Frisco RoughRiders (Double-A, Texas Rangers) for the upcoming home series. The Sod Poodles return to HODGETOWN after a 12-game road trip of the season to Springfield (Double-A, St. Louis Cardinals) and Corpus Christi (Double-A, Houston Astros). All five starters continued to shine during the road trip and tallied six quality starts over 12 games. Most recently, the rotation allowed just 10 runs in the six game set against the Hooks. The first-place RoughRiders make their first trip to HODGETOWN this season, having won four of their last five contests.

The homestand begins with Taco Tuesday and the Pointy Boots. After Wiener Wednesday and Thirsty Thursday, the Yellow City Pigweeds will take the field on Friday, which also coincides with Friday Night Fireworks. Both Saturday and Sunday will feature a player t-shirt giveaway, with a LuJames Groover tee on Saturday and a Yu-Min Lin shirt ahead of the series finale. Sunday’s matinee will see the kids run the bases postgame to close out the week.
