George Springer led off the stanza with a hustling double, and runs-scoring singles by Jonathan Meyer (1) and Jiovanni Mier (2) highlighted the barrage. Corpus Christi cracked four hits in the inning after mustering just two thru the first six off RockHound lefty Carlos Hernandez. Carlos Perez provided muchneed breathing room with a home run to left field, his first blast of the season. Corpus Christi starter Asher Wojciechowski pitched well, allowing his first two runs of the season on five hits thru five innings. He walked two and struck out six. Wojo s franchise record scoreless innings streak, which dated back to last season, ended at 33. David Martinez, fresh off his perfect five-inning outing Saturday, scattered three hits and one unearned run over 3.1 innings to earn the victory. Jason Stoffel notched his fourth save by recording the final two outs with the tying run at the plate.

Heidenreich is 1-2 with a ERA in 4 appearances. He has struck out 2 and walked 9 in 11.1 innings while the opposition features a.420 batting average. Heidenrech, who has allowed 4 home runs in his last 2 outings, was roughed up for 4 runs on 8 hits Sunday against Frisco in a losing effort. A two-run home run by Jared Hoying in the fifth was the big blow. He did not walk a batter and struck out 5. Tulsa slugged 3 long balls in his outing April 16 at ONEOK Field, the first was a three-run shot by 9-hole hitter Joey Wong. Heidenreich faced the Drillers April 7 at Whataburger Field and earned the W, tossing 3.0 innings of shutout relief. Originally selected by the White Sox in the fourth round of the 2009 draft, Heidenreich was traded to Houston last July as part of the Brett Myers deal.

WATES ON DL: OF Austin Wates, who has been out of the lineup for the first 3 games of this series, joins OF Domingo Santana on Corpus Christi s disabled list. Both have been sidelined due to hamstring injuries. Wates is currently batting.317 with 2 doubles, 2 triples, 1 home run and 4 RBIs in 16 games. The former Texas League All-Star has walked 11 times against 11 strikeouts, fashioning an OBP of.438, which ranks 4th in the league. Wates is also tied for 2nd in steals (9) and triples and slots 10th in batting average. His move to the DL is backdated to yesterday. Santana, batting.231 with 4 doubles, 2 home runs and 5 RBIs, is expected to be activated during the series in Frisco. The Hooks active roster is currently at 24, 1 under the Texas League limit. MORE ON WOJO: Anthony Aliotti s sacrifice fly in the third last night ended Asher Wojciechowski s scoreless-innings streak at 33. The remarkable run extended all the way to the 4th inning August 20, 2012 at Springfield. Wojo still leads the Texas League with a 0.78 ERA. He also ranks tied for 2nd in the circuit in strikeouts (25), innings pitched (23.0), third in batting average against (.169) and fourth in WHIP (0.83).

Orel Hershiser holds the Major League mark, hurling 59 consecutive shutout innings from August 30 to September 28, FRIENDLY FIRE: Former Hook Jake Goebbert continues to swing a hot stick against his old teammates. Last night, he went 2 -for-3 with an RBI, 2 walks (1 IBB) and a stolen base. Goebbert is 6-for-9 (.667) during this series with 3 doubles, 1 home run, 3 RBIs, 2 runs scored and 2 walks. He enters play tonight with a 10-game hitting streak. Goebbert, a Corpus Christi fan favorite who was traded to Oakland earlier this month for lefty reliever Travis Blackley, is hitting.328 with 9 runs scored, 6 doubles, 3 home runs, 10 RBIs and 3 steals in 16 games for the Hounds. The 13th-round pick in 2009 out of Northwestern hit a combined.291 with nine home runs and 54 RBIs in 130 games with Oklahoma City and Corpus Christi last season.

SEEKING SERIES W: A win tonight would stand as the 4th series victory for the Hooks in 6 tries. It would also mark a rare bright spot for the club at Citibank Ballpark which has been a house of horrors for Corpus Christi over the years. The Hooks are just (.402) lifetime in the Permian Basin. Corpus Christi notched its second winning season against the RockHounds last year. The Hooks, who went 12-4 opposite the Hounds at Whataburger Field, won 6 of 10 games here in Midland.
