CORPUS CHRISTI - Luis Angel Rodriguez struck out a season-best eight batters over four shutout frames Friday night as the Hooks came back to beat Springfield, 4-2, before 4,150 fans at Whataburger Field.
In the fourth inning, Corpus Christi notched three hits and three runs to turn a 2-0 deficit into a lead. Brice Matthews began the rally with a double to right-center. Zach Dezenzo followed with a one-out single before Tommy Sacco Jr. doubled to left-center to plate the pair. Sacco later scored on a wild pitch.
Dezenzo added insurance with 413-foot frozen rope into the Hooks bullpen in left for his first home run in three games with CC.
