Last night s heroics marked the Hooks fourth walk-off triumph on the homestand. Travs starter Brandon Hynick kept Corpus Christi in check, limiting the home team to a solo home run by Preston Tucker in the third. He permitted just one other hit thru 7.2 innings and, at one point, retired 14 in a row. Hynick walked four and struck out eight. Elvin Ramirez entered to record the final out in the eighth, stranding a pair on base. Josh Judy, recently recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake City, was called upon to close it out. Castro pulverized a 2-1 pitch in the right-field bullpen for his 15th bomb of the season. Meyer smacked the next pitch onto the berm in left. Andrew Robinson earned the victory, tossing 2.1 scoreless innings. He struck out two and stranded five. David Rollins turned in another impressive start, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits over 6.2 innings. The lefty fanned five and walked two.
