1 Corpus Christi Hooks (11-9) at Frisco RoughRiders (11-9) Friday, April 26, 2013 Dr Pepper Ballpark Frisco, TX 7:00 pm ON THE RECORD: 7-3 Home 4-6 Road Series 1-1 Sweeps L 1 Streak 2-3 Last Last 10 BIG INNING REDUX: One night after the Hooks scored four times in one frame, Midland returned the favor. The RockHounds sent 10 men to the plate in a four-run eighth Thursday night, rolling to a 6-0 victory over the Hooks at Citibank Ballpark. Corpus Christi was forced to settle for the series spilt after enduring its second shutout of the season. The Hooks had plenty of chances offensively, creating traffic in all but one inning. The club hit into three double plays, stranded nine on bases and went 0-for- 7 with runners in scoring position. CC committed three errors which led to three unearned runs. The first was on a brilliant diving stop at third by Jonathan Meyer, who sailed the throw to first into the seats, allowing a run to score from second. Meyer later threw wildly to home plate in the eighth on a would-be force play. Starter Ruben Alaniz scattered three hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He was charged with an unearned run and struck out two. Jorge De Leon was the bright spot out of the pen, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings.
