Hooks Score Late, Stun Naturals, 5-4
Northwest Arkansas got a valiant performance from pitcher Jared Hughes, but it wasn't enough to beat the Corpus Christi Hooks. Corpus Christi won the game, 5-4. Hughes threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. Corpus Christi is 21-26 and Northwest Arkansas, with the loss, 21-26.

Corpus Christi used the timely hitting of Augusto Espinoza to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Hooks on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Espinoza said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
