Amarillo Sod Poodles News Release


CORPUS CHRISTI, TX. -- The Amarillo Sod Poodles (45-48) fell to the Corpus Christi Hooks (33-59), 11-0, on Thursday evening at Whataburger Field. A six-run third inning paced the Hooks' offense, while three Corpus Christi arms combined for a five-hit shutout.

Jose Cabrera struck out the first four Hooks he faced, racking up five total through two shutout innings.

In the third inning, Corpus Christi flipped the script and scored first for the third straight game. Joseph Sullivan hit his second homer in as many games, a two-run shot to right to start the scoring. Zach Cole followed later in the frame with a two-run double down the first base line to make it 4-0, before an RBI groundout and passed ball made it 6-0 Hooks.

The hosts added another crooked number in the fourth inning, growing their lead with three runs on four hits to own a 9-0 advantage.

A bright spot for the Soddies was Amarillo reliever Casey Anderson. The right hander tossed three scoreless frames and struck out six in his Double-A debut. At one point, the Salt Lake City, Utah, native punched out five consecutive Hooks, including all three hitters in the sixth inning.

Corpus Christi scored twice in the eighth to push the lead to 11-0, before concluding the contest on a game-ending 5-4-3 double play.

The series rolls into the weekend with a 7:05 p.m. first pitch scheduled for Friday evening. Tomorrow's probables are RHP Roman Angelo (2-8, 5.88) and RHP Spencer Arrighetti (0-0, 0.00 - rehab assignment).
