Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
MIDLAND- Corpus Christi recorded a season high 16 hits enroute to an 8-7 victory on Tuesday night.

Joseph Sullivan led the charge offensively, going 3-4 finishing a homerun shy of the cycle. Additionally, the Hooks concluded the night with seven extra-base hits which is the second most in a game this season.
Yamal Encarnacion continues to shine on base, recording a pair of stolen bases. Tonight's success puts Encarnacion as the stolen base leader with 28 ahead of Tulsa's Kendall George.
Jackson Nezuh put together four innings while striking out five batters. In the end, the bullpen stood tall including Trey McLoughlin and Amilcar Chirinos recording 4.1 IP while striking out six batters without allowing a run.
