CORPUS CHRISTI - The Hooks pounced for four runs on three Arkansas errors and a clutch swing by Luis Baez in the eighth inning Friday night, forging an 8-4 win over Arkansas before 5,027 fans at Whataburger Field.
Ethan Pecko made his second start for the Hooks, striking out five against three hits and one run over three sharp innings. The marker came on a lead-off homer by Axel Sanchez in the third, a fly ball that just cleared the 325-foot porch in left.
Corpus Christi answered with a three-spot in the home half. Edwin Díaz provided the big hit, a two-run double to left-center, capitalizing on knocks by Reylin Perez and Bryan Lavastida.
Díaz, who doubled again in the fifth, is 6-for-18 with four runs scored, four extra-base hits, five RBIs, four walks, and two steals in the series.
