Johnson Powers Hooks Offense
The Corpus Christi Hooks stormed past the Birmingham Barons, 14-6, at Whataburger Field. Corpus Christi right fielderSam Johnson led the hit parade. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 4. Brad Lovingood snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits over 2.1 innings. He's now 1-0 on the season. By defeating Birmingham, the third-place Hooks improved to 52-53.

Dan Matus had a big bases-clearing double for the Hooks in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Corpus Christi leading 7-6 and the bases loaded, he got a splitter from 22-year old right-handed pitcher Lionello Guicciardini and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 8th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Hooks ahead, 10-6.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Johnson told the Corpus Christi Herald.
