CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Corpus Christi Hooks announced the postponement of their 6-game series opener against the San Antonio Missions around 3 p.m. on Tuesday. Wednesday, June 17th, will now consist of two 7-inning games.
"The main concern is for everyone's safety, for the fans and for the players," said Hooks Director of Broadcasting Michael Coffin. "In this case we might have some dry weather this evening and the rain might hold up for just a bit, but just not the best day for baseball. We want to make sure that the dirt is firm and good to go, and I think the best way to do that is to play two tomorrow. Two on Wednesday."
Gates on Wednesday are scheduled to open at 4 p.m. with first pitch at 4:30 p.m. The second game will begin approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of game 1. Tickets for tomorrow will be valid for both games, while tickets for Tuesday's game can be exchanged for any future 2026 Hooks game at the box office.
Tickets for Wednesday's doubleheader can be purchased here.
