UH baseball took on the Sam Houston Bearkats in the Don Sanders Cup at Don Sanders Stadium in Huntsville, Texas.
The Cougars were looking to get their groove back after losing in a series against Texas Tech. The Cougars failed to deliver and lost 8-5.
Houston kicked off the scoring in the first inning when senior catcher Anthony Tulimero hit a solo home run to make 1-0, but Sam Houston would strike back in the bottom of the first thanks to a stolen base at home plate and an RBI triple.
In the second inning, redshirt senior catcher Jonathan French grounded out to first base, which allowed freshman outfielder Ace Reese to come home and make it 2-2, but Sam Houston was not phased and a two-run blast gave them the advantage.
