Hooks Blank Missions on Star Wars Night

San Antonio Missions News Release
SAN ANTONIO - In a galaxy far, far away, Jackson Nezuh and Joey Mancini combined to shut out the San Antonio Missions (23-38, 62-68) as the Corpus Christi Hooks (24-38, 46-84) won 4-0 on Star Wars Night at The Wolff. The Missions recorded just three hits, and while the Hooks had five themselves, they led to all the offense they needed.
The Hooks got to Missions starter Miguel Mendez in the second inning. Orlando Martinez tripled in two runs before Mendez let another run in on a wild pitch, so Corpus Christi gained a 3-0 lead.
Mendez made it through four innings and gave way to Fernando Sanchez. The Hooks greeted Sanchez with back-to-back doubles from Wes Clarke and Luis Baez, adding a run to the Hooks' now 4-0 lead.
That was more than enough for Nezuh through his five scoreless frames with just two hits and three strikeouts given up. He handed the ballgame to his piggyback, Mancini, who finished the game with only one hit and three walks allowed across four scoreless innings. Those two arms worked together to shut out the Missions.
