Miguel Palma plated a Corona double with a base hit up the middle in the fourth. J.C. Correa completed the Corpus Christi scoring by beating out an RBI infield hit in the eighth.
Hook starter Jaime Melendez survived two walks and a hit batsman in a scoreless first, but Melendez's wildness continued as he was able to record only one out in the second.
Cesar Gomez kept the Missions off the board in the third and fourth before giving way to Carlos Betancourt , who delivered 2 2/3 innings of one-run relief.
Jacob DeLabio pitched a scoreless eighth but surrendered a two-out, two-run home run by Ray-Patrick Didder in the final frame.
