Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
SAN ANTONIO - A two-run home run by Ethan Salas Tuesday night helped carry San Antonio to a 3-2 win over Corpus Christi at Wolff Stadium.
Thunderstorms forced play to stop after eight innings. Following a 30-minute delay, the series opener was called.
Jackson Nezuh matched his Double-A best with eight strikeouts, holding the Missions to four hits and one walk over 5 2/3 innings.
Salas' salvo over the right-field fence in the sixth snapped a scoreless stalemate.
Following six shutout innings by Jagger Haynes, the Hooks broke through in the seventh. Garret Guillemette drew a two-out walk and managed to score from first base on a double by Pascanel Ferreras.
SA answered with a marker in the home half but CC struck again in the eighth thanks to consecutive walks by Trevor Austin, Joseph Sullivan, and Drew Brutcher. Yamal Encarnacion followed with his club-best 26th RBI via a sac fly to center.
The Hooks, trailing by a run, had the top of the order due in the ninth before rain washed out the remainder of the evening.
