Corpus Christi Hooks News Release


SPRINGDALE, AR - A two-run home run by Gavin Cross provided seventh-inning separation Wednesday night as the Naturals advanced to an 8-3 win over the Hooks at Arvest Ballpark.

Pascanel Ferreras' two-run blast, his sixth Double-A home run, cleared the left-field bullpen in the fifth, helping Corpus Christi claw back from a 3-1 deficit.

The stalemate was short-lived as Carter Jensen's sac fly in the home half put Northwest Arkansas ahead for good.

Following a one-inning rehab start by Royals reliever John Schreiber, Ben Kudrna worked from the second through the seventh, scattering five hits and three walks.

Hooks lead-off hitter a shortstop Tommy Sacco Jr. opened the game with the first of his two doubles on the day. Sacco, who reached base three times thanks to a ninth inning walk, scooted home on a two-out base hit off the bat of Colin Barber.

Luis Baez, Houston's 20-year-old prospect, made his Double-A debut, going 0-for-2 with a pair of walks while patrolling right field.

Logan Cerny sent a single up the middle in the fifth, giving him knocks in three consecutive games.

Ryan Wrobleski went 2-for-4 from the nine-hole, including a ninth-inning double.

Miguel Ullola struck out six against four runs in five innings, with Julio Robaina pitching the final three frames for CC.
