CC home runs: Jack Mayfield (7, 9 season; 2-run in 1st)
The Hooks stormed out of the gate with a 6-0 lead and hung on to the victory by withstanding a late charge from the Cardinals.
Jack Mayfield whacked a 2-run home run in the 1st to open the scoring. He singled to lead off the 3rd inning and scored on an RBI double from J.D. Davis. Later in the 3rd, Chase McDonald ripped an RBI double of his own, and Mott Hyde smacked a 2-run double. Mayfield drove in the Hooks' final run of the evening with a sacrifice fly in the 8th inning. He and Davis had 3 hits apiece, while Hyde finished 2-3.
Cy Sneed allowed 3 runs (1 inherited runner charged to him) on 4 hits, walked 3, and struck out 4 in 6.1 innings. Albert Minnis recorded the final two outs of the 7th and the first out of the 8th. Minnis was lifted for Aaron West after issuing back-to-back walks following the first out, and those walks turned into runs after he left. West got the final two outs of the 8th, but in between those outs, he allowed an RBI double and an RBI single, which allowed both of the runners he inherited from Minnis to score. Despite that scare, West closed out the game without any further incidents, getting three groundouts to finish it off.
In game 2 of this series, Francis Martes will take on Luke Weaver. First pitch is at 7:10.
