Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
CORPUS CHRISTI - Frisco employed early crooked numbers to muster a 10-4 win at Whataburger Field before a Wednesday afternoon crowd of 2,242 Coastal Bend elementary students and educators.
The RoughRiders have won five in a row with the Hooks being saddled by a season-long six-game losing streak.
Astros rehabbing right-hander Nate Pearson was touched for four runs in two-plus innings, prompting four frames of relief from Bryce Mayer.
For the second straight outing, Mayer posted eight strikeouts but the RoughRiders managed three runs against the Mizzou Tiger, including a two-run homer by Keith Jones II in the fifth.
Mayer has breezed 25 batters in 14 innings across four appearances (three starts) for a K-per-9 rate of 16.1.
The Hooks, playing as the World Famous Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits, were confined to five hits, including two by Zach Dezenzo who doubled down the left-field line in the ninth.
Dezenzo, rehabbing a right elbow injury, went 4-for-9 with a walk while playing left field and first base Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tyler Whitaker collected his first two Double-A RBIs by doubling to right-center in the fourth.
