Junior first baseman Ryan Hernandez’s three-hit, four RBI game powered Houston past Incarnate Word 13-7 Wednesday night in San Antonio.
The Cougars started the game with a bang, sending 10 men to the plate in the top of the first, resulting in five UH runs on five hits, the biggest being a 3-run home run to left-center by Hernandez.
The Cardinals fought back from their early deficit, scoring three runs in the third and two in the fifth to tie the game up 5-5.
UH retook the lead in the top of the sixth as senior outfielder Tyler Bielamowicz, who had four hits on the night, took advantage of a UIW error, scoring all the way from first base on pop up that the Cardinals mishandled.
