SAN ANTONIO – Spencer Arrighetti pitched a career-best seven innings while Cole McDonald authored near-perfect relief as the Hooks penned their first shutout of the year, a 1-0 Mother’s Day decision over the Missions at Wolff Stadium.
They game’s lone run came on a Drew Gilbert RBI single in the first. Shay Whitcomb reached via an infield hit, stole second and then scampered home on the line drive into right field. Gilbert has hit safely in six of seven Double-A games.
The next hitter, Joey Loperfido, recorded a single but Missions lefty Jackson Wolf responded permitting just one more base runner through his exit after seven.

McDonald retired six of the seven he faced, striking out five, for his second save in as many outings.
At 1:57, Sunday's series finale was five minutes shy of matching the record for quickest nine-inning game in Hooks history.
