Wind Surge pitching recorded 10 consecutive outs to reach the eighth with their one-run deficit intact. Bush, who homered Friday night, disrupted the stretch with a lead-off single for his third hit of the day. Austin followed with a double, staging runners at second and third base. The Hooks then cashed in for an 8-5 bulge thanks to Reylin Perez' sac fly and a Martinez two-out RBI single.

Corpus Christi received excellent relief pitching to engineer the come-from-behind win. Returning from the IL with three scoreless innings for a Thursday win, Alejandro Torres picked up another victory by delivering 1 1/3 shutout frames.

Railin Perez worked around two walks to blank Wichita in the sixth and seventh.

Tyler Guilfoil earned his second two-inning save of the week, retiring all six Wind Surge batters in the eighth and ninth. Guilfoil finished his Double-A campaign with a 3.88 ERA and four saves in 46 appearances, which tied for the club lead.

Guilfoil did not allow an earned run over his last five outings (11.0 IP), while posting a 1.40 ERA in 10 games since mid-August.
