The Houston Cougars have not had a great start to the season, but they have a chance to turn things around when they go against the USF Bulls on Friday.
In conference, USF and Houston are tied for first with 4-2 records, but overall, USF has a better record of 20-9, while Houston has a record of 17-11.
Houston is recovering from a trio of low-scoring games against Cincinnati, while USF defeated Tulane in a high-scoring series. In contrast to Houston’s strong pitching but weak offense, USF has been a very balanced team this season.
Juniors David Villar and Joe Genord are USF’s best hitters and have a combination of 11 home runs this season, which is more than the entire Houston roster.
