Only Corpus and Tri-City played games last night, so let's take a look:
Corpus
Big time offensive game between Corpus and San Antonio last night, with the Missions scoring three runs in the 10th to win 12-10. Drew Locke did what Drew Locke does, getting three hits, including a two-run homer, while Jimmy Van Ostrand and Jason Castro also went yard. Locke, Van Ostrand, Castro, Florentino, DeLome and Moresi each had two hits in the loss. Pitcher Casey Hudspeth had a two-run single, but went 4IP, giving up 7H/6ER, 1K:3BB. Ryan McKeller threw the only perfect inning, while Van Hekken and Meszaros each gave up a run in 2IP. Chris Salamida gave up 4H/3ER, with 1BB in the 10th to suffer the loss. He has now given up 9ER in his last 4.2IP.
Tri-City
Tri-City endured some jitters, striking out 12 times, committing three errors in a 5-4 10-inning loss. Catcher Pedro Gonzalez was 2x4 with 2RBI, Russell Dixon was also 2x4. Hits from Barry Butera, Brandon Wikoff, and Jhonny Medrano also provided some offense that resulted in four runs in the top of the 9th. David Duncan gave up 3ER in 5.2IP, but struck out seven. Robby Donovan, with three walks and the unearned run, took the loss.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
