CORPUS CHRISTI - The Midland RockHounds sent nine men to the plate and scored five times in the fifth inning to pull away towards an 11-1 victory over the Corpus Christi Hooks on Thursday night at Whataburger Field.
Right-hander Yoanys Quiala allowed a tally in the first inning and another in the fourth as the RockHounds jumped ahead to a 2-0 advantage.
