1 San Antonio (25-13) at Corpus Christi (22-16) Wednesday, May 16, 2018 Whataburger Field Corpus Christi, TX 7:05 p.m. ON THE RECORD: 14-6 Home 8-10 Road Series 1-1 Sweeps W 4 Streak 4-1 Last Last 10 CC ERUPTS LATE: The Hooks scored five times in the seventh inning and Cionel Perez fired four shutout frames to close out a 5-4 victory over the Missions Tuesday night at Whataburger Field. With the Hooks trailing 4-0, Randy Cesar worked a lead-off walk from Logan Allen in the seventh. Ryne Birk was next and punched a base hit into center field. In his first at-bat of the game, Lorenzo Quintana then seared a double to left field, which put Corpus Christi on the board at 4-1. Alex De Goti made it a 4-3 contest with a two-run single to right field. One out later, Stephen Wrenn, facing reliever Rowan Wick, rolled a grounder through the left side. Josh Naylor misplayed the base hit, letting the ball roll past him, prompting De Goti to score from first base to tie the game. Carmen Benedetti, who fell behind in the count 0-2, battled back and sent a single past the drawn-in second baseman River Stevens to plate Wrenn for the go-ahead run. Perez cemented the victory by dispatching 12 of the 13 men he faced. The exception was erased on a double play. The Cuban lefty fanned six and threw 38 of 57 pitches for strikes. Fernando Tatis, Jr., helped the Missions to their four-run edge by belting a pair of solo home runs.

2 PAGE 2 FOUR!: Winners of 4 in a row, the Hooks (22-16) take aim at their seventh series victory of the season. A win tonight would also match the club s highwater mark for the year at 7 games over.500. This standard was established April 29 when Corpus Christi beat Frisco, 8-3, to improve to ON POINT: LHP Cionel Perez turned in another terrific outing Tuesday night. Perez has permitted just 1 earned run in his last 6 appearances, spanning 24.1 frames. The Cuban left-hander s 1.59 ERA would rank 2nd in the Texas League, but he is 2.0 innings shy of qualifying for the leaderboard. Perez has struck out 29 against 11 walks and 25 hits in 28.1 frames. The opposition has yet to hit a home run against him. SPARKLING IN CC: With last night s come-from-behind triumph, the Hooks have won 5 of the 6 games on this homestand. Corpus Christi is now 14-6 (.700) at Whataburger Field this year. The club is averaging 5.6 runs per game while posting a 3.15 ERA here at the friendly confines. OLD RIVALS: The Hooks now trail San Antonio by 3.0 games in the Texas League South. The Missions, who reeled off 11 consecutive triumphs to open May, have dropped a season-high 3 straight games. It marks the only set of consecutive losses endured by San Antonio this season. With wins Monday and Tuesday, Corpus Christi has improved its record to 2-4 in the 14th and final installment of the I-37 series. San Antonio began the season set by sweeping Corpus Christi in 4 games at the Wolff last weekend. This includes a pair of Missions walk-off grand slams. San Antonio, a charter member of the Texas League, founded in 1888, is bound for the Triple -A Pacific Coast League in Q BRANCH: RHP Yoanys Quiala turned in the lonest outing by a Hooks pitcher on Monday night. Quiala has now won 2 of his last 3 starts, posting a 2.84 ERA and.230 batting average against. Meanwhile Hooks hurlers have allowed 3 earned runs or less in 4 of the last 5 contests. Corpus Christi s pitching staff boasts a 3.76 ERA, which ranks 2nd in the Texas League. These Missions feature the best ERA in the circuit at SMOTHERING SA: Prior to the Hooks 5-run 7th Tuesday night, the Missions had held Corpus Christi to 2 markers over the first 14 innings of the series. San Antonio s pitching staff has limited the Hooks to an average of 3.3 runs per game, with Corpus Christi batting.245 as a team. The Hooks roared into this series offensively, having scored 32 runs on 50 hits over the course of the 4-game set opposite Midland to begin the homestand. The Hooks enter play today leading the Texas League in batting average (.290), runs (215), hits (384), doubles (81), steals (57), and on-base percentage (.368). Corpus Christi is averaging 5.6 runs per game. SIERRA DEBUTS: RHP Carlos Sierra, promoted to Corpus Christi from High-A Buies Creek on Monday, made his Double-A debut last night, allowing a Fernando Tatis, Jr., solo home run in one inning of work. Sierra, who struck out the side in the 5th, went 1-1 with a 3.32 ERA in 10 Carolina League appearances. He was 2-for-2 in save chances, and struck out 21 against 10 walks in 21.1 frames. The opposition batted.173 with 1 home run. A native of Sancti Spiritus, Cuba, Sierra permitted 4 earned runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in his last 4 appearances (8.2 IP). The 23-year-old pitched scoreless ball 4 consecutive assignments from April Sierra allowed just 1 hit during this 8.0 inning stretch. Signed by the Astros as a non-drafted free agent in January 2016, Sierra went 3-2 with a 2.83 ERA in 29 appearances between Buies Creek and Quad Cities last year. He posted a 1.09 WHIP and allowed 4 home runs in 57.1 frames while averaging 9.4 strikeouts per 9 IP.
