Corpus Christi expanded its 3-0 lead with a six-run fourth. Three walks and a hit-by-pitch began the inning, setting up Jordan Brewer's sac fly. Jeron Williams was next and, from the nine-hole, lined a two-run single into left. Melton, reaching base four times for three runs, beat out an infield hit for his second RBI of the day.

Ullola, the Texas League strikeout leader with 105 Ks in 81 1/3 innings, limited the Drillers to three walks while recording 16 outs. The 22-year-old right-hander finished his outing with nine consecutive outs.
