Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
TULSA - Chris Newell's three-run home run in the seventh cemented a 9-7 win for the Drillers Thursday night at ONEOK Field.
Wes Clarke homered twice as part of a three-hit, four-RBI performance. Clarke went deep in the first for a 1-0 Corpus Christi lead. With two away in the fourth, he cracked a low liner that narrowly cleared the four-foot fence in right-center for a three-run blast.
