Meanwhile, Corpus Christi plated double-digit runs for the ninth time this season, beginning with a two-out rally in the second. Tyler Whitaker cashed in a Joseph Sullivan free pass by doubling to the center field wall.
Max Holy was next and lifted a 3-1 pitch to deep right-center field. Mike Sirota had difficulty locating the ball as it smashed into the bottom of the fence, allowing Holy to circle the bases for a two-run home run. It stands as just the sixth inside-the-parker in 21 seasons of Hooks Baseball.
