June's Jammin' Second Half

CORPUS CHRISTI - There's a lot going on from June 17-28 at Whataburger Field… like the longest homestand in eight years. Then there's the 79th Texas League All-Star Game June 30.

But before CITGO presents the ASG, you can feast at the banquet table with 13 games in 12 nights. Heck, we even have a Father's Day twinbill.

Let's get to it, night-by-night:
