Hooks Post Wild Win in Seesaw Series Finale
August 13, 2023 - Texas League (TL)
Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
CORPUS CHRISTI - In addition to initiating a triple play, second baseman Will Wagner went 5-for-5 with a double, home run and three RBIs Sunday afternoon, as the Hooks captured a wild 11-9 victory over Frisco before 3,122 fans at Whataburger Field.
Thanks to notching a season-high 18 hits, Corpus Christi has won back-to-back contests.
Wagner, who finished a triple shy of the cycle for his second five-hit game of an injury-shortened season, set the tone Sunday by opening the home first with a home run to left field. Wagner added a two-out RBI single in the second before notching an RBI double in the fourth. His singles in the sixth and seventh were coupled with home runs from Kenedy Corona and Bryan Arias.
Corona's two-run poke was his 22 home run on the season, and his 20th at Double A, as he becomes the first Hook since Drew Sutton in 2008 to author a 20-homer, 20-steal campaign for Corpus Christi.
Colin Barber collected a two-run double in the fourth. With two outs in the fifth, J.C. Correa belted a 3-2 pitch over the fence in left for his fourth home run of the year.
The Hooks then sent nine men to the plate in the next frame as the home club erased five deficits over the first six innings.
A contingent of five Corpus Christi pitchers stranded 11 RoughRiders on base.
Blair Henley made the start and, with the bases loaded in the fourth, induced a 4-6-3-5 triple play on a sharp grounder to second. The effort by Wagner, Chad Stevens, Correa, and Luis Aviles Jr. held Frisco to two runs in the inning.
Tyler Brown picked up the win by striking out three against one run, one hit, and one walk over two innings of work.
Cole McDonald permitted a run in the eighth but got out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the eighth to preserve a two-run bugle.
Jacob DeLabio stranded two in the ninth for his second save.
