2019 Triple-A All-Star Game

In El Paso, the Pacific Coast League All-Stars topped their counterparts from the International League by a score of 9-3. Kyle Tucker got the start in left field and he hit a double in the 1st inning, which was his only hit in three at-bats.

Round Rock returns to action tonight as they begin a four-game series with Iowa at 7:05. Akeem Bostick will face Colin Rea.

Frisco 5, Corpus Christi 4

W- Walker Weickel (5-1)
L- Justin Ferrell (1-1)

CC home runs: None.

The Hooks thought they had control of this game after scoring four in the top of the 5th. Well... Frisco scored three in the bottom of the 5th to tie the game and they eventually walked off with the victory and swept the Hooks out of the Metroplex.

In his first rehab appearance, Brad Peacock walked one and struck out four over two scoreless innings. Enoli Paredes, the original scheduled starter, took over for five innings and he allowed four runs on four hits, walked three, and struck out five. Riley Ferrell allowed the winning run on two hits and struck out one in 1.1 innings.

Unfortunately, all of Corpus Christi's scoring in this game was limited to the 5th. Chuckie Robinson put them on the board with a sac fly and then Osvaldo Duarte and Bryan de la Cruz hit RBI singles. Duarte wound up scoring on a wild pitch that Ronnie Dawson swung at and missed for a strikeout. De La Cruz finished 3-4 on the night while Stephen Wrenn went 2-4.

The Hooks will look to bounce back as they start a four-game series in Midland at 7:00. Carson LaRue will face Kyle Friedrichs.
