1 Corpus Christi Hooks (21-12) at Frisco RoughRiders (12-21) Friday, May 15, 2015 Dr Pepper Ballpark Frisco, TX 7:05 p.m. ON THE RECORD: 7-7 Home 14-5 Road Series 2-0 Sweeps W 3 Streak 4-1 Last Last 10 VICTORY HEIST: Hooks pitchers struck out a season-high 14 batters and held the RoughRiders to four hits Thursday night as Corpus Christi swiped a 4-2 victory from Frisco in the series opener at Dr Pepper Ballpark. With runners at the corners and two outs in the seventh, Teoscar Hernandez and Tony Kemp executed a double steal to give Corpus Christi a 3-2 edge. In the ninth, Leo Heras doubled down the right-field line and moved to third on a pitch in the dirt. With two away, Cody Ege walked Kemp, brining Jio Mier to the plate. During the at-bat, Kemp set sail for second, prompting Frisco catcher Jorge Alfaro to fire to third in attempt to catch Heras leaning. Alfaro s throw got away from Joey Gallo, enabling Heras to scamper home for the Hooks fourth run. Aaron West retired nine of the 11 men he faced, striking out five. Jandel Gustave netted the save, striking out two in the ninth. Vince Velasquez made his second Double-A start. Velasquez permitted two runs on three hits and four walks over four frames. With a run home and two in scoring position in the fourth, Velasquez struck out two batters to end the inning. Angel Baez bridged the gap to West with a perfect fifth. Doubles by Telvin Nash and Heras in the second produced Corpus Christi s first run. Kemp opened the third with a two-bagger to right field. He moved to third on a Mier sac bunt and scored via a fly ball from Conrad Gregor.

2 PAGE 2 HEADED TO HOUSTON : Right-handed pitcher Lance McCullers, who struck out 6 over 4.0 shutout innings Tuesday in San Antonio, will make his Major League debut on Monday night in a start vs. the Oakland A s at Minute Maid Park, Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow announced today.

For the season, Corpus Christi owns the top ERA (2.92) and strikeout-per-walk ratio (2.37) in the Texas League. The next closest club, in terms of ERA, is Tulsa at RUNNING WILD: The Hooks, who swiped 3 bags over the final 3 innings last night, lead the Texas League in steals (39) and stolen-base percentage (83%). In 13 May contests, the club is 26-for-27 in steal attempts. Corpus Christi has stolen 16 bases in 18 tries over 9 games against Frisco.
