1 Corpus Christi (27-27, 74-50) at Arkansas (25-28, 57-66) Saturday, August 20, 2016 Dickey-Stephens Park North Little Rock, AR 7:10 p.m. ON THE RECORD: Home Road Series 6-1 Sweeps W 2 Streak 4-1 Last Last 10 BOYD TO THE RESCUE: Left-fielder Bobby Boyd s throw to home plate ended the ballgame Friday night, saving Corpus Christi s 4-3 victory over Arkansas at Dickey-Stephens Park. With the Hooks ahead 4-0 in the ninth, Andrew Daniel coaxed a lead-off walk from Michael Freeman. Jabari Henry was next and reached on an error by shortstop Antonio Nunez. Freeman then issued a free pass to Caleb Adams, loading the bases for Wade Wass. On a 1-0 pitch, Wass lined a single into centerfield, putting the Travelers on the board at 4-1. Jacob Dorris entered and his first pitch plunked pinch-hitter Bo Way, making it a two-run affair. With the bases still loaded, Dorris struck out the next two. Alex Yarbrough followed and stroked a flare into shallow left-center. The base hit plated Caleb Adams but Boyd connected with catcher Roberto Pena, who applied the tag on Zach Welz attempting to score from second. The defensive gem validated a sterling performance by Hooks starter Trent Thornton who fired six shutout innings. Kyle Smith backed Thornton s performance with a pair of hitless innings. Corpus Christi drained Alex Klonowski, who threw 91 pitches over the first four innings. The Hooks scored twice in the second on four hits, including an RBI single by James Ramsay. Antonio Nunez added a sac fly. In the fourth, doubles by Roberto Pena and Boyd made it 3-0. CC loaded the bases against D.J. Johnson in the seventh and Conrad Gregor recorded his 38th RBI with a smash to first base.

2 PAGE 2 PRICKLY FOE: For the 2nd straight start, RHP Trent Thornton handled Arkansas with ease. Thornton limited the Travs to 5 singles and 2 walks last night. He fanned 5, throwing 64 of 93 pitches for strikes. In his previous assignment, August 12 at Whataburger Field, Thornton tossed 7 innings of 1-run ball, striking out 6. Arkansas managed 7 hits (5 singles) but stranded 6. The 5th-round pick in last year s draft has held the Texas League to 1 run or less in 3 of 5 starts. Thornton permitted 2 runs in his Double-A debut July 16 at The Wolff in San Antonio. Dating back to his California League finish, Thornton is 6-1 with a 2.65 ERA in his last 9 starts, striking out 54 against 7 walks in 57.2 IP. IT S HOW YOU START: Thornton s effort last night continued a run of strong starting pitching for Corpus Christi. Hooks starters have held opponents to 2 runs or less 6 times in the last 7 games. Excluding LHP Kent Emanuel s outing Wed at Northwest Arkansas (8 R, 1.1 IP), Corpus Christi s starting staff owns a 1.38 ERA (6 ER/39.0 IP), striking out 32 against 29 hits and 2 walks. STAY HOT: 3B J.D. Davis and 1B Conrad Gregor each had 2 singles last night, extending their hit streaks to 4 games. During this run, Davis is 7-for-16 with 4 runs, 1 double, 2 home runs & 4 RBIs. Gregor is 7-for-14 in his last 4 games, notching a home run and 2 RBIs. In the 2nd half, the Vanderbilt product is batting.260 with 6 home runs and 21 RBIs in 42 games. BUILDING MOMENTUM: The Hooks, who have won 4 of their last 5 games, shoot for a 3rd consecutive series victory this evening. The last time Corpus Christi accomplished this feat was May 31-June 26 when the club won 7 straight sets. After dropping back-to-back games to close out a July, the Hooks have gone 11-6 in August. Corpus Christi continues to excel against Arkansas. The Hooks have won 8 of the 10 meetings, including all 4 at Dickey-Stephens Park. NEW ADDITIONS: Houston added LHP Albert Minnis and OF Drew Ferguson to Corpus Christi s roster yesterday. Minnis rejoins the Hooks from Triple-A Fresno where he allowed 4 ER in 9.2 IP over 5 appearances. The 24-year-old Kansas native features a 4.50 ERA in 11 games for the Hooks, striking out 10 against 5 walks in 18.0 innings. Minnis began the year on Corpus Christi s disabled list. Ferguson, selected by the Astros in the 19th round of last year s draft out of Belmont University, earns the Double-A promotion after a successful stint at High-A Lancaster. The 24-year-old from Knoxville, TN, batted.313 with 25 doubles, 2 triples, 14 home runs, 69 RBIs and 28 stolen bases in 90 games for the JetHawks. Ferguson departs the California League riding an 18-game hit streak. He has also reached base in his last 33 assignments. Ferguson ranked among the league leaders in OBP (.410, 2nd), SLG (.531, 2nd), AVG (4th) and steals (5th).
