Corpus Christi, TX - A late comeback fell just short for the Arkansas Travelers in an 8-6 loss to the Corpus Christi Hooks on Sunday afternoon. Arkansas trailed by eight after six innings but scored twice in the seventh to show some life. They plated four more runs in the ninth inning and had the tying run to the plate with one out but were unable to finish the rally. Connor Jones was the hard luck losing pitcher, giving up two runs over four innings. Hooks starter Misael Tamarez pitched five shutout innings for the win.

Moments That Mattered
