CORPUS CHRISTI - The Hooks turned in one of their signature wins of the season Saturday night as Tyler Whitaker belted a walk-off grand slam in the ninth inning, lifting Corpus Christi to a thrilling 11-8 triumph over Frisco before 4,439 fans at Whataburger Field.

The Hooks trailed, 8-6, heading into the ninth but battled back for a second consecutive win. Will Bush and Jason Schiavone opened the inning with back-to-back singles. Cameron Sisneros then made it a one-run affair by doubling into the right-field corner. Joseph Sullivan was walked intentionally, bringing Whitaker to the plate.

After falling behind 0-2, Whitaker crushed a hanging breaking ball over the fence in left field for Corpus Christi's first walk-off slam since Scott Schreiber in 2021.

With his first pro grand slam and a career-best 5 RBIs, Whitaker is 3-for-8 with a double and two home runs over his last two games.

Sisneros drove in four runs on the night, including a two-run blast in the fifth inning, his third long ball in 14 games as a Hook.

Schiavone went 3-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored. His base hit to right field in the first chased home Yamal Encarnacion. Encarnacion worked a lead-off walk and stole his Texas League leading 37th bag to manufacture the marker.

Bush, 2-for-3 with two runs and a walk, has hit safely in each of the five games in the set, batting .412 for the series.

Alex Santos II spun 2 2/3 shutout innings out of the Corpus Christi pen, striking out four. Santos has set down 18 of 19 batters faced over his last three assignments.
