AMARILLO – Following a two-week stay on the injured list, Scott Schreiber belted two home runs Saturday night, leading the charge in a 12-6 Hooks victory over the Sod Poodles before 6,503 fans at Hodgetown.
Corpus Christi and the Sod Poodles combined for nine home runs, the most struck in a regular-season contest in the ballpark’s two-year tenure.
The five Hooks home runs represented a new season high. Corpus Christi has now gone deep in nine consecutive games.
Schreiber’s initial home run came on the first pitch of his first at-bat. In the next inning, the fourth, he connected with a three-run salvo to left-center to put the Hooks in front, 5-1. Alex McKenna had extended the frame by finishing a two-out, 11-pitch at-bat with an RBI single.
With two away in the 4th, Alex McKenna finished an 11-pitch AB with an RBI single.

Nick Hernandez, making a spot start for Parker Mushinski, held the Sod Poodles to one hit, a Dominic Miroglio solo homer, over a season-best three innings.
Brett Daniels earned the win, striking out seven without issuing a walk over five innings.
Amarillo made it a one-run game in the seventh on a two-run dinger by nine-hole hitter Jancarlos Cintron.
With two outs and the Hooks clinging to a 5-4 edge in the eighth, Matthew Barefoot blasted a 1-2 pitch from Tyler Jones for a 510-foot poke to left for a three-run home run. It was the second Barefoot blast in as many nights.

Cesar Salazar and Joe Perez capped the CC scoring in the ninth with a pair of two-run clouts at the expense of Joe Jones to make it 12-5.
Make it FIVE home runs for the Hooks.
