Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
FRISCO - Despite eight runs in the Corpus Christi ninth, including a Texas League record six consecutive doubles, the RoughRiders held on for a 13-12 win over the Hooks Wednesday night at Riders Field.
With Corpus Christi trailing 13-4, Kenni Gomez, Alberto Hernandez, Yamal Encarnacion, Jason Schiavone, Will Bush, and Trevor Austin all recorded doubles to start the ninth, brining the Hooks within 4.
Following a Cameron Sisneros walk, Max Holy cracked an RBI two-bagger to left, bringing the tying run to bat. Gomez obliged with his third hit of the day, a two-run knock into center field. Gomez, who joined Holy with a pair of doubles in the contest, moved into scoring position via a wild pitch but was stranded there after a strikeout ended the game.
Austin went 3-for-5 and was a triple shy of the cycle, launching a two-out, two-run homer to left in the fifth. He leads the club with 13 home runs while ranking third on the Hooks with 40 RBIs.
CC enjoyed a 2-0 lead at the jump after consecutive singles by Encarnacion and Schiavone began the game. Sisneros and Whitaker cashed in with back-to-back, two-out hits.
Cole Hertzler was limited to 43 pitches over three innings in his seventh Double-A assignment. The lone marker against Hertzler came on a Sebastian Walcott first-inning homer.
