AMARILLO - Caleb Roberts doubled twice and belted a grand slam to plate seven runs Friday night, leading the Sod Poodles to a 12-6 triumph before 5,484 fans at Hodgetown.

Jeron Williams' lead-off homer in the sixth made it an 8-5 ballgame but Amarillo padded its edge with two-spots in the sixth and seventh.

Williams, who lifted a sac fly in the second to take advantage of a Joseph Sullivan and Will Bush double, is 4-for-8 with six RBIs over his last two games.

Zach Cole, riding an eight-game hit streak, went deep with two away in the ninth for his 14th home run of the season.

Anderson Bido and Tyler Guilfoil both authored 1 2/3 scoreless innings from the Corpus Christi bullpen.

Amilar Chirinos retired the first four he faced before allowing a two-run homer to Ryan Waldschmidt in the seventh. Waldschmidt enters Saturday having reached safely in eight of his last nine plate appearances, including three round-trippers.
