UH softball avoided a sweep, winning one of three against Texas Tech over the weekend. The Cougars sit at last in the Big 12 with only four conference wins this season.
Game 1
The Red Raiders came out swinging, scoring four runs in the opening three innings. The Cougars got on the board in the bottom of the third inning when junior infielder Lair Beautae launched a single home run.
Following a wild pitch that allowed Texas Tech to tie the game at five runs in the top of the fourth, graduate utility Bree Cantu of Houston cut the lead to two runs with a two-run home run to left field that also scored graduate outfielder Kennedy Thomas.
