Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
SAN ANTONIO - Efrain Contreras struck out eight over six shutout innings, helping the Missions edge the Hooks, 3-1, before 3,784 fans Thursday night at Wolff Stadium.
Following Wednesday's doubleheader split, San Antonio leads the seven-game series, 2-1.
Drew Gilbert, who plated Corpus Christi's lone run, doubled twice in three official at-bats. Gilbert's one-out knock in the fourth accounted for the Hooks first baserunner.
Both of Gilbert's Double-A RBIs have come on catcher interference calls against Chandler Seagle.
Julio Robaina righted the ship after allowing a pair of first-inning runs, allowing only three to reach over his final four frames. Back-to-back two-out hits in the fifth rendered the third Missions marker.
Logan VanWey permitted one single over two shutout frames for CC. Tyler Brown, pitching on back-to-back days for the first time this year, logged a 1-2-3 eighth.
J.C. Correa reached in his final three plate appearances, recording two singles and a walk.
Led by Contreras, Missions hurlers teamed for 13 strikeouts against five hits, two walks and a hit batsman.
