Wolff Stadium Makes Fetch Happen as Missions Fall to Hooks 

SAN ANTONIO (Sept. 3, 2025) – On Mean Girls themed Bark in the Park Night, Regina George took the field in the form of the Corpus Christi Hooks (23-36, 45-82), who didn’t let the San Antonio Missions (21-37, 60-67) sit with them in their 7-1 victory. Hooks starter James Hicks dominated, carrying a perfect game into the sixth and finishing with 12 strikeouts.

Neither team recorded a hit through the first four innings. Jagger Haynes tossed three clean innings in which he only walked two. Josh Mallitz then made his Missions’ debut and set down all three men he faced.

Once Jared Kollar entered, the Hooks woke up. Trevor Austin led off the fifth with a triple, kickstarting a five-run fifth for Corpus Christi. Jeron Williams and Lucas Spence singled in runs. Pascanel Ferreras did the same, and another run scored on an error getting the ball into the infield. A Joseph Sullivan RBI groundout capped the effort, giving Corpus Christi a 5-0 advantage heading to the bottom of the fifth.

While the Corpus Christi offense did their part, Hicks put on a clinic. Hicks retired the first 15 Missions and pitched perfectly until Anthony Vilar homered in the sixth. That homer acted as a blip on the radar, however, as Hicks struck out 12 batters while allowing just that one run and hit as well as a walk.

The Hooks tacked on a pair of unearned tallies in the seventh, ballooning their lead to 7-1. Hicks left as the seventh began, but three Corpus Christi relievers combined to finish the game with three scoreless innings.
