Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
CORPUS CHRISTI - Logan Evans strung together six scoreless innings and struck out eight Thursday night, leading Arkansas to a 6-2 win over the Hooks before 3,961 fans at Whataburger Field.
Jake Bloss retired the first eight in a row, striking out five, in the start for Corpus Christi.
The Travs broke through thanks to a two-out triple by ninth-place hitter Morgan McCullough, who came home directly via a wild pitch.
After Bloss stranded a pair in a scoreless fourth, the Travs struck for three unearned runs in the fifth, capitalizing on two Corpus Christi errors.
Evans held the Hooks to four baserunners: a single from Tommy Sacco Jr. and doubles by Collin Price, Zach Cole, and Rolando Espinosa.
Espinosa accounted for the Corpus Christi scoring, belting a two-out, two-run home run onto the berm in left in the seventh. The 23-year-old from Cuba is hitting .464 with five extra-base hits and seven RBIs in his last 10 games.

Jacob DeLabio was touched for two runs while recording eight outs from the Hooks bullpen. Lefty Brayan De Paula blanked Arkansas in the eighth and ninth, breezing two.
