Wednesday, the RockHounds scored seven times in the second inning, en route to an 8-7 win over Corpus Christi. Thursday night, the ‘Hounds took it a step further, scoring TEN times in the second, and went on to defeat the Hooks, 12-7, at Momentum Bank Ballpark.
The win was the RockHounds’ sixth in-a-row and their seventh in the first nine games of a 12-game homestand.
Devin Foyle’s 15th RBI of the season (in just 15 games) brought home the first run of the second-inning uprising and a two-run double off the bat of Chase Calabuig made the score 3-0.
The ‘Hounds pushed two more runs across on bases-loaded walks, before Jeremy Eierman fell behind in the count, 0-2, with the bases loaded and two out. Eierman then blasted the 0-2 delivery to the base of the wall in left field (into the wind), clearing the bases and pushing the lead to 8-0. On the next pitch, Kyle McCann sent a two-run home run deep into the left field corner and the score was 10-0.
Seven RockHounds scored a run, drove in a run, or both. Eierman’s three RBI were a game-high, with Calabuig, McCann, and Logan Davidson each driving in two. Davidson and Foyle each had three of the RockHounds’ 15 hits to lead the way.
