Corpus (21-29, 8.0 GB; 55-65 overall)
A couple of crooked numbers for Arkansas resulted in an 8-3 Corpus loss yesterday. Mark Appel took the mound for the Hooks, and we saw what we saw from Appel in Lancaster (albeit not as disastrous): 5IP, 8H/4ER, 7K:1BB. The K/9, BB/9, and K:BB is there, he's just getting tagged. Colton Cain came in and got worked over for 5H/4ER, 2K:1BB in 2IP. Mitchell Lambson threw a perfect 8th inning.
The Hooks only got four hits, but two of those were homers by Teoscar Hernandez and Leo Heras - who also drew three walks. Tony Kemp and Colin Moran added hits in the losing effort.
Man of the Match: Leo Heras
Lancaster (27-23, 1.0 up; 71-49 overall*)
