FRISCO - Nick Williams homered twice and Corpus Christi managed only one hit Thursday night as the Riders rolled to a 7-0 triumph at Dr Pepper Ballpark.
Chan-Jong Moon's lead-off single in the sixth off Jose Leclerc accounted for the lone Hooks knock.
Williams set the tone with a lead-off homer in the first. Brian Holmes permitted the next two to reach with Ryan Cordell coming home on an Alex Burg sac fly. The 37-pitch frame ended when Preston Beck flew out to left field, stranding three on base.
Holmes fanned two in a scoreless second but ran into more trouble in the third. Burg singled and Trever Adams walked to begin the inning. The pair scored via a two-out double by Preston Beck, which knocked Holmes out of the game.
Williams started the fourth with his second blast of the night, a deep drive to left field off Juan Minaya for a 5-0 Frisco bulge.
Singles by Luis Mendez and Beck opened the fifth. Mendez later crossed the pay station courtesy of a wild pitch.
