CORPUS CHRISTI - Bryce Willits cracked a bases-loaded single in the 10th inning Wednesday afternoon, pushing the Hooks to a 6-5 win over Amarillo at Whataburger Field.

Amarillo managed to tie the game with a three-run eighth, prompting extras.
Wilmy Sanchez pitched a 1-2-3 ninth with Michael Knorr employing a line drive double play and caught stealing to keep the Sod Poodles at bay in the 10th.
