Despite a late rally in the ninth inning, it was a rough evening for Houston pitching as the Cougars pitching staff combined to give up 11 runs and 15 hits in an 11-10 loss to Texas State Friday night at Schroeder Park.
Houston scored seven runs in the ninth inning after being down 11-3 in the eighth, but the comeback fell short. After dropping the opening game in its three-game series against the Bobcats, the Cougars move to 2-6 on the season.
Texas State’s offense exploded over the first three innings, scoring five runs on five hits highlighted by second baseman Jaxon William’s three-run home run in the top of the third inning.
