The San Antonio Missions struggled offensively for the second straight night and allowed three home runs during their Thursday night loss to Corpus Christi. Final score was 6-1.
The Missions wasted no time taking an early lead. After a lead-off single from Robbie Podorsky, he stole second, and then was driven home thanks to a Kyle Overstreet RBI single. This was the first at-bat of the season for Overstreet.
The Hooks were able to answer back in the bottom half of the first inning. With a runner on first, David Hensley connected on his second home run of the season to give Corpus a 2-1 lead. The Hooks have homered in each of the three games they have played. A solo home run from Norel Gonzalez in the second inning made it an early 3-1 lead for Corpus Christi.

I get tired of reading comments by commercial fisherman that recreational anglers ignore the law and overfish their share of popular species. However, an arrest by the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission puts the shoe on the other foot.
Two commercial fishermen in Florida were jailed last week for possessing an illegal haul after a Monroe County Sheriff’s deputy stopped their van for speeding and following too closely in the Keys. As the

Indeed, there was.
The deputy reported that he could smell fish as he approached the van and called in officers from FWC. They discovered a haul of illegal seafood that started with 100 undersized wring lobster tails.
