MAGIC NUMBER IS ONE- Though the Hooks dropped last night's game to San Antonio 8-1, they still hold their own destiny. With a win tonight, or with a Midland win over Frisco, the Hooks will clinch the first half of the Texas League Southern Division and a spot in the playoffs.

The Hooks have had a sensational first half hitting and pitching, leading the Texas League with a .284 team batting average and ranking second in the league with a 3.74 team ERA. At least one member of the Hooks is in every major offensive and defensive category including J.R. House, who leads the league in hitting, and pitcher Matt Albers, who leads the league in pitching.
