SAN ANTONIO - Corpus Christi suffered its first loss in seven days as San Antonio defeated the Hooks, 4-3, in 10 innings Friday before 7,551 fans at Wolff Stadium.

The Hooks secured the first run of the ballgame in the top of the second when Garret Guillemette scored on a throwing error against the shortstop Francisco Acuna. The Hooks would add to their lead in the top of the third when Tommy Sacco Jr. recorded his first home run of the 2026 season.

John Garcia joined the party in the fifth, leaving the yard on an opposite field home run to give Corpus Christi a 3-1 lead.

Despite the offensive power, San Antonio would rally late scoring a pair of runs in the ninth and securing a walk off single in the tenth.
