L- Cy Sneed (4-5)
S- Aroni Nina (1)
CC home runs: None.
This was a 4-3 game after the 7th inning, but the Naturals turned it into a laugher with 9 runs in the final two frames.
Both teams scored a run in the 1st; Corpus Christi's run came in the form of a sac fly from J.D. Davis, who also ripped an RBI ground-rule double in the 5th, Tony Nuñez added an RBI single in the 6th, James Ramsay scored 2 of the 3 Hooks runs.
Cy Sneed went 6 innings and allowed 4 runs on 4 hits (2 solo homers), walked 1, and struck out 6. Eric Peterson tagged in for 2 innings and allowed 2 runs on 4 hits and struck out 4. Unfortunately, the 9th inning was where it all unraveled for the Hooks; Michael Freeman and Jacob Dorris bore the brunt of the Naturals' wrath in the final inning. I'll leave it at that.
The Hooks will start a 3-game series with Arkansas tonight at 7:05. Trent Thornton will take on Alex Blackford.
