Amarillo Takes Home Controversial Win
July 30, 2022 - Texas League (TL)
Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
The Amarillo Sod Poodles picked up a rain-shortened 8-1 win in five innings Fri-
day night, improving to 3-1 in the series vs. Corpus Christi. Following a one-hour rain delay, the tarp was pulled at Hodegtown to allow for
play. Rain returned prior to the 8:05 start and continued at a steady pace as the Sod Poodles hit three home runs to build their lead. Cor-
pus Christi's lone hit came courtesy of an Alex McKenna home run to left field. Sod Poodles lefty Blake Walston, who struck out 10
against four walks, finished the night with a 1-2-3 fifth.
As soon as the game became official, the umpiring crew, led by chief Mike Carroll, called for the tarp, despite the fact that, while the sur-
face appeared playable, the rain had not intensified. The decision to begin the game with inclement weather was argued by Hooks man-
ager Gregorio Petit.
