Ronnie Dawson scored on a wild pitch in the fifth inning for the go-ahead run, leading the Corpus Christi Hooks to a 4-2 victory over the Arkansas Travelers on Thursday at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock.
Dawson reached base on a walk, advanced to second on a walk by Abraham Toro, then stole third before coming home on the wild pitch by Arkansas' Justin Dunn.
The Hooks tacked on another run in the seventh when Toro hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Javier Bermudez.
The Travelers opened the game with a two-run first inning.
Evan White homered after Donnie Walton flew out, and Dom Thompson-Williams followed with a double and stole third before scoring on a throwing error.
Abraham Toro scored on Graden Goetzman's fly out, and Seth Beer came home on Ramiro Rodriguez's single as the Hooks tied the score at 2-2 in the top of the fourth.
The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for the Hooks and ended a seven-game winning streak for the Travelers.
