The 'Hounds Second (Inning) That Emotion
Published on June 4, 2021 under Texas League (TL)
Midland RockHounds News Release
Wednesday, the RockHounds scored seven times in the second inning, en route to an 8-7 win over Corpus Christi. Thursday night, the 'Hounds took it a step further, scoring TEN times in the second, and went on to defeat the Hooks, 12-7, at Momentum Bank Ballpark.
The win was the RockHounds' sixth in-a-row and their seventh in the first nine games of a 12-game homestand.
Devin Foyle's 15th RBI of the season (in just 15 games) brought home the first run of the second-inning uprising and a two-run double off the bat of Chase Calabuig made the score 3-0.
The 'Hounds pushed two more runs across on bases-loaded walks, before Jeremy Eierman fell behind in the count, 0-2, with the bases loaded and two out. Eierman then blasted the 0-2 delivery to the base of the wall in left field (into the wind), clearing the bases and pushing the lead to 8-0. On the next pitch, Kyle McCann sent a two-run home run deep into the left field corner and the score was 10-0.
Seven RockHounds scored a run, drove in a run, or both. Eierman's three RBI were a game-high, with Calabuig, McCann, and Logan Davidson each driving in two. Davidson and Foyle each had three of the RockHounds' 15 hits to lead the way.
