Rehabbing Astro Zach Dezenzo reached base three times while patrolling left field for eight innings. Dezenzo's two-out, two-run single in the second helped CC answer a 4-0 deficit.
With the game tied at six in the sixth, Walker Janek pulled a double into the left-field corner to plate a pair for an 8-6 Hooks advantage.
