TEXAS LEAGUE (DOUBLE-A)
Midland RockHounds 5
Corpus Christi Hooks 4
WP: Emanuels 2-1 / 5.19
RHP Kade Morris turned in another solid start to help the RockHounds record their fourth straight win over the Hooks on Friday. The 22-year-old righty, who was acquired from the Mets in return for RHP Paul Blackburn last summer, gave up just 4 hits with no walks and 8 strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings of work. Morris didn’t allow an earned run but was charged with 3 unearned runs due to a passed ball by catcher Lyle Lin in the 4th inning and a throwing error by shortstop Euribiel Angeles in the 7th inning. But otherwise, Morris was solid, throwing 88 pitches, 61 for strikes, and he’s now allowed just 6 earned runs while issuing only 6 walks and notching 35 strikeouts in 34 innings over his first 6 starts for the Hounds. RHP Stevie Emanuels registered the last out in the 7th to pick up the win, while LHP David Leal pitched a perfect 8th, and RHP Mitch Myers got the final three outs in the 9th to secure the save for Midland. Left fielder Brennan Milone doubled, drew a walk and drove in a run, while Angeles had a pair of hits, and center fielder Junior Perez doubled, drove in a pair and scored a run for the RockHounds.
