The American Athletic Conference baseball season is a little over halfway through, and Houston is in a position to earn second or even first place with a little help.
Houston sits at 8-7 and third place in the AAC behind 8-3 Tulane and 11-1 ECU.
Houston clinched the series against Cincinnati, and while the two teams have the same record, Houston holds the tie breaker.
Next up in conference play for Houston is USF in Tampa. This should be an easy sweep, as USF sits in last place in the conference standings.
If the Cougars can get a series win over USF and Wichita State can win one off of Cincinnati, the Cougars can get a firm grasp of the No.
