CC's Pen Pitches In, Drillers Clinch Series

Box Score

TULSA - Kole Myers's two-out, two-run single in the fifth Saturday night proved to be the decisive swing as the Drillers edged Corpus Christi, 4-2, before 5,040 fans at ONEOK Field.

Hooks starter Alonzo Tredwell, toting a 2.81 ERA to start his Double-A tenure, lasted only two outs in his fifth appearance for CC as Tulsa struck for two runs on three walks and one hit.

Corpus Christi's bullpen backed Tredwell with 7 1/3 innings of two-run ball. Tyler Guilfoil highlighted the effort by blanking the Drillers over a season-best three frames.

Hudson Leach added two scoreless innings in relief with Ramsey David pitching a 1-2-3 eighth.

Tulsa lefty Luke Fox fired five no-hit innings before the Hooks managed a marker in the sixth. Lucas Spence opened by smashing a single to right field. Wes Clarke and Joseph Sullivan followed with walks to load the bases. Luis Baez blistered a ground ball at 108 MPH but Sean McLain fashioned a 6-4-3 double play to hold the damage to one run.

Jeron Williams, also aboard in the fourth via a walk, doubled to start the seventh but he was stranded at third.

With CC trailing 4-1, Trevor Austin worked a walk to begin the ninth. Two-outs later, John Garcia lined a two-bagger into the left-field corner, plating Austin to make it a two-run affair. Tommy Sacco Jr. then lifted a long fly to right-center but Zach Ehrhard raced onto the warning track to make the catch to end the game.
