Houston baseball took home the Don Sander’s Cup Tuesday after defeating Sam Houston 4-3 at Sugarland’s Constellation Field.
The hot hitter, senior outfielder Cary Arbolida, extended his hit streak to 11, recording his fourth homer in the last three contests. The California native’s two-run blast to right-center drove in senior infielder Harold Coll and gave Houston a 2-0 lead in the second.
Another homer landed in right-center in the top of the sixth off the bat of senior utility Justin Murray, giving the Coogs a 3-0 advantage.
While freshman pitcher Richie Roman pitched for a season-high four innings, in which he struck out six batters, junior pitcher Graysen Drezek threw a season-high three innings with five strikeouts of his own.
