CORPUS CHRISTI - Amarillo scored four runs in the ninth inning Sunday afternoon, robbing the Hooks of a series split with a 5-3 come-from-behind win before 4,852 at Whataburger Field.

Corpus Christi snapped a 1-1 stalemate in the eighth. Trevor Austin, who went 2-for-2 with a double and run scored, worked a walk to start the inning. Two outs later, Yamal Encarnacion landed a fly ball inside the foul line in right for two bases and a go-ahead RBI.

Rehabbing Astro Jake Meyers, playing in his fourth game for Corpus Christi, provided insurance by blistering an RBI double to the opposite field in right center for a 3-1 edge.

Hooks hurlers had recorded 10 consecutive outs before a walk and two errors opened the ninth, paving the way for the Soddies.

Railin Perez retired all six batters he faced, striking out three, with Alex Santos II penning a 1-2-3 sixth.

Amilcar Chirinos struck out two and stranded the bases loaded in the fifth.
