Corpus Christi, matching its largest win of the season, sent eight men to bat in the second for a 5-0 lead. Kenedy Corona started the scoring with a lead-off home run to left field. Jordan Brewer and Ferreras followed with a double and an RBI single, respectively, setting the stage for J.C. Correa's two-bagger to right-center that chased home Ferreras.

The Hooks tacked on four more in the third. Consecutive doubles by Brewer and Ferreras cashed in an error by second baseman Ripken Reyes. Collin Price coaxed a walk and, with two away, Rolando Espinosa doubled to the gap in right-center, giving CC a 9-0 bulge.
