WICHITA, Kansas (Ticker) -- Jason Bourgeois and Adrian Gonzalez combined to drive in five runs as the Frisco RoughRiders crushed the Wichita Wranglers, 9-2, to sweep the best-of-five Eastern Division Championship series. Bourgeois, who was hitless over the first two games of the series, finished with three hits, scored twice and drove in three runs. Gonzalez had a team-high four hits, including a lead-off double to spark the six-run eight frame, and finished with two RBI for Frisco, which advanced to play San Antonio in the best-of-seven Texas League finals. Juan Dominguez, who won five straight decisions to end the season, allowed two runs -- one earned -- and six hits in six strong innings, but did not figure in the decision. Keith Stamler (1-0) followed with 1 2/3 scoreless innings to pick up the win in relief. Mike Tonis had a hit and produced the only RBI for Wichita, which fell to 1-9 in its last 10 playoff games. Jorge Vasquez surrendered six runs and three hits in 1 2/3 innings to suffer the loss for Wichita.
