Luke Flynn made an impact in the 8-4 Corpus Christi win over Jacksonville. Flynn, who is tied for 2nd in the SC with a 1.187 OPS, went 2-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Jim Unknown went 9 innings for Corpus Christi to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs. He scattered 7 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 4. His record improves to 1-0. The Texans, at 50-81, sit in 4th place in the Southern Conference West Division.

Chris Gallagher had a big 2-run home run for the Texans in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Corpus Christi leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from Hector Mendoza and swatted a home run to right. It was his 23rd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Texans ahead, 3-0.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Flynn told a Corpus Christi Herald reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
