CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders pounded three home runs, but fell Thursday night to the Corpus Christi Hooks 7-6 on a walk-off homer from Will Bush, from Whataburger Field.
Frisco (13-11) wasted no time getting to Hooks (11-13) starter James Hicks in the first when both John Taylor and Corey Joyce blasted two-run home runs, putting the Riders ahead 4-0.
The Hooks immediately countered with four runs of their own to tie the game in the home half of the first, but Dylan Dreiling plated a run with an RBI single in the second to re-grab the lead 5-4.
The score held until the sixth when Mason Lytle pasted a two-run double to put Corpus Christi ahead 6-5. Max Wagner, in his first game with the RoughRiders, then tied the contest with a solo home run to left field.
In the bottom of the ninth with one out, Ryan Lobus (2-2) allowed the Bush walk-off home run to left-center, snapping Frisco's five-game winning streak.
Amilcar Chirinos (1-0) recorded the final two outs of the ninth to earn the win for Corpus Christi.
