San Antonio's go-ahead runs came in the fifth and sixth on three singles. The production was augmented by four walks, two hit batsmen, and two stolen bases.
Hooks hurlers plunked a club-record seven hitters in the game.
After permitting a marker in his initial inning, Joey Mancini blanked San Antonio in the seventh and eighth. Mancini, who retired eight of the final 10 men he faced, struck out three.
Corpus Christi's six-game drought is its longest of the season.
