CORPUS CHRISTI - Logan Evans strung together six scoreless innings and struck out eight Thursday night, leading Arkansas to a 6-2 win over the Hooks before 3,961 fans at Whataburger Field.
Jake Bloss retired the first eight in a row, striking out five, in the start for Corpus Christi.
The Travs broke through in the third thanks to a two-out triple by ninth-place hitter Morgan McCullough, who came home directly via a wild pitch.
After Bloss stranded a pair in a scoreless fourth, the Travs struck for three unearned runs in the fifth, capitalizing on two Corpus Christi errors.
Evans held the Hooks to four baserunners: a single from Tommy Sacco Jr. and doubles by Collin Price, Zach Cole, and Rolando Espinosa.
Espinosa accounted for the Corpus Christi scoring, belting a two-out, two-run home run onto the berm in left in the seventh. The 23-year-old from Cuba is hitting .464 with five extra-base hits and seven RBIs in his last 10 games.
