The Cougars entered the 2016 Shriner’s Hospital for Children College Classic tournament last weekend looking to improve their 4-0 record, but the team struggled in each of its three matchups.
The Cougars went 0-3, losing games to nationally ranked Texas Tech University Red Raiders, the University of Arkansas Razorbacks and the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs.
On Friday night, Houston dropped a hard-fought battle to the No. 23 ranked Texas Tech.
Star pitcher junior Andrew Lantrip gave an outstanding effort, but in the end suffered his first loss of the season.
The Cougars tied a tournament record when they stole six bases in the game.
