HOOKS 2, TRAVELERS 1
Corpus Christi's Keegan Yuhl silenced the Travs for seven innings, and Brendan McCurry shut the door in a 2-1 loss Wednesday night at Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Yuhl allowed 4 hits, 1 walk and no runs while striking out 2 as the Hooks built a 2-0 lead through seven. David Schmidt took over in the eighth and got the first out before allowing the next three hitters to reach on two singles and a walk.
McCurry entered the game and hit Chad Hinshaw to pull the Travs within 2-1, but center fielder Carlos Gomez -- on a rehab assignment for the Houston Astros -- caught Eric Aguilera's line drive and threw out Alex Yarbrough at home.
The Travs got the tying run to third base in the ninth, but Andrew Daniel was stranded.
