Related Topics: hooks, Big Mac

Corpus Christi’s first baseman, big Chase McDonald, the Hooks “Sultan of Swat”, followed up his career-best 6 RBI performance Friday with another strong showing last night. McDonald’s 2-out, 2-run blast in the 6th gives him 5 home runs on the year, which is tied for 3rd most in the Texas League. The 23-year-old from Greenville, NC, has been the only threat in Corpus Christi’s lineup of late, accounting for 9 of the club’s 11 runs (82%) in the last 3 games. McDonald is 5-for-10 with 2 homers during this surge, following a .180 start to the season. The Hooks have lost six straight games and nine of their last ten, despite the Big Mac attack.
