Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
CORPUS CHRISTI - Top Texas Rangers prospect Josh Jung stole the show Wednesday to help dispatch the Hooks, 8-4, at the hands of the Frisco RoughRiders at Whataburger Field.
Jung went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs in just his second Double-A contest. The San Antonio product launched the three-run homer in the ninth inning to break the game open.
The Hooks, playing as the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits, plated a pair in the first, including a Pedro León RBI single against Hans Crouse.
Jordan Procyshen gave the Riders a 3-2 lead in the fourth with a solo blast off J.P. France. But León answered in the bottom of the frame with a two-run shot of his own that scraped the top of the left field fence and went over.

Both teams face off for a straight doubleheader Thursday beginning at 4:05 p.m. Head on out for Dog Day, Thirsty Thursday and Itchy Burts Night at the ballpark.
