FRENZIED FIFTH FINISHES CARDS: Lorenzo Quintana’s lead-off home run in the fifth sparked a six-run frame as the Hooks cruised to a 9-3 triumph over Springfield in Friday night’s series opener at Whataburger Field. Quintana, who cracked a two-out RBI single in the second, belted the first pitch from Anthony Shew in the fifth over the left-field wall for his third home run of the year. The dinger was the first of seven consecutive hits in the inning. Stephen Wrenn, Josh Rojas, Taylor Jones, Carmen Benedetti, and Alex De Goti each collected an RBI single. Also in the hit parade, was a De Goti double.

Ryan Hartman spread three runs, six hits, and one walk over seven innings for his third consecutive win. Hartman, who fanned seven and threw 61 of 86 pitches for strikes, retired the last eight men he faced. Wrenn added an RBI single in the eighth off Yeison Medi-na, giving him three knocks on the night. Rojas followed with an RBI triple into the right-field corner. Lefty Chris Nunn and Riley Fer-rell combined for three frames of scoreless relief.
