After a neutral-field win over the University of Texas Longhorns on Tuesday, the 25th-ranked Cougars are hitting the road to take on the University of Connecticut Huskies in a three-game series this weekend.
With the win on Tuesday, the Cougars improved to 20-12 overall this season and jumped to a three-game win streak.
A dominant effort from the pitching staff helped propel the Cougars to the win, as redshirt junior Bubba Maxwell, freshman Trey Cumbie and junior Nick Hernandez combined for nine innings of five-hit baseball, allowing just two earned runs and one walk compared to seven strikeouts on the night.
