Corpus Christi took on Death Valley in front of a lively crowd.

No one was more impactful than Cristóbal Hernández in the 10-6 Corpus Christi win over Death Valley. Hernández, who is tied for 9th in the AL with a .523 slugging percentage, was 2 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring twice. Corpus Christi pitcher Heui-chung Kim got the win. He's now 8-4. Bill Batstone was tagged with the loss.

Fernando Morán hit a run-scoring double off Bill Batstone in the bottom of the eighth, which put the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits in front, 7-6. In addition to the double, Morán had 1 single and 1 walk, while going 2 for 4.

"We got the victory," said Hernández. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
