AA: at Frisco 8, Corpus Christi 0
Record: 20-15, +2.0

Blake Beavan didn’t set any personal statistical records but might have thrown his most meaningful start to date. In eight innings, Beavan shut out the Hooks on four hits, no walks and eight strikeouts. Beavan (2.98 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) threw 75 of his 105 pitches for strikes.

The box scores shows five groundouts versus ten flyouts, but Beavan’s actual ground/fly ratio was more favorable: only nine of 20 balls put into play reached the outfield airborne. Three of those “flyouts” were infield popups. The “groundout/flyout” stat is often deceptive.

RF Joey Butler (.313/.388/.478) extended his hitting streak to 16 with a two-run homer (his 4th) and a double. He also walked. 2B Matt Lawson (.295/.373/.447) went 4-5 with two doubles. Taylor Teagarden swung at six of 24 pitches offered. He went 0-2 with three walks and a strikeout.

Reliever Cody Eppley and his 0.00 ERA have joined Frisco.
