Corpus Christi Hooks News Release


CORPUS CHRISTI - Hooks hurlers blanked the RoughRiders in all but one frame Friday night, but the breakthrough was substantial as Frisco carried the day with a 10-2 triumph before 4,122 fans at Whataburger Field.

Corpus Christi starter Brandon McPherson struck out seven against two singles and a walk over the first four innings of his Double-A debut.

In the fifth, the first five reached, culminating with a three-run homer by Dylan Dreiling off reliver Ramsey David. The 5-0 bulge would blossom with Frisco sending 15 men to the plate while sending four of nine hits for extra bases.

The Hooks had enjoyed a 1-0 lead before the outburst. Pascanel Fererras began the third with a base hit up the middle. After Fererras stole second, Joseph Sullivan brought him home with a smash single into center.

Sullivan has reached base twice in back-to-back games to start the season.

Corpus Christi was held to six hits, with two coming from James Nelson who was making his Astros system debut. Nelson won Baseball America's Independent Leagues Player of the Year award in 2025 after notching 34 homers and 53 stolen bases for the Charleston Dirty Birds.

Rehabbing Astro Enyel Del Los Santos turned in scoreless appearances on consecutive nights after facing three in the sixth.

Joey Mancini made his season debut by striking out four while posting zeros in the seventh and eighth.

Wilmy Sanchez engineered a 1-2-3 ninth for his first outing of 2026.
