Corpus Christi's three-game win streak came to a halt Sunday as the Naturals secured a split of the six-game series by besting the Hooks, 9-2 at Arvest Ballpark. CC third baseman Austin Deming turned in his first professional multi-homer game, blasting a 407-foot salvo to straightaway center field in the third. In the fifth, Deming, cracked an opposite-field home run that landed inside the right-field bullpen, giving the BYU product four round-trippers in 11 Double-A games.

The Hooks have won three in a row, and can take the series with a victory in Sunday afternoon's series finale. Zach Cole, who connected for his eighth home run of the year Saturday night, is 5-for-15 with four extra-base hits and five RBIs in three games at Northwest Arkansas.

The Hooks marked Justin Verlander's rehab start with their biggest win of the year, a 16-5 triumph over Northwest Arkansas before 4,832 fans Thursday night at Arvest Ballpark. Backed by four strong innings from Verlander, Corpus Christi notched a season-high 16 runs on 15 hits, with seven going for extra bases as the club snapped a four-game skid. Verlander, working his way back from neck stiffness, responded to the Natural's two-run first by retiring 10 of the final 11 men he faced, punctuating the performance with three strikeouts in a perfect fourth.
