TEXAS LEAGUE (DOUBLE-A)
Corpus Christi Hooks 1
Midland RockHounds 2
WP: Cusick 1-0 / 0.00
Prospect Of The Game:
Pitcher Ryan Cusick
(5 IP / 2 H / 0 ER / 2 BB / 8 K)
RHP Ryan Cusick turned in an outstanding start to earn the win in his Midland debut on Wednesday. Last year’s 1st-round draft pick for the Braves, acquired from Atlanta in the Matt Olson trade, allowed just 2 hits while striking out 8 over 5 shutout innings to lead his team to victory. RHP Chase Cohen tossed 2 scoreless frames, while LHP Austin Briggs was charged with 1 unearned run in 2 innings of relief to record the save for the RockHounds. Shortstop Logan Davidson collected a pair of hits, including a double, while center fielder Chase Calabuig singled twice and drove in a run, and third baseman Zack Gelof doubled in a run for the RockHounds.
