Behind a big fourth inning, the Cougars bounced back from their opening weekend losses to the Youngstown State Penguins to take down the Stanford Cardinal 11-4 on Friday at the Round Rock Classic.
Houston moved back up to .500 with the win, improving to 2-2 on the young season.
Stanford struck first on an RBI double from catcher Christian Molfetta in the first inning to give the Cardinal a 1-0 lead.
The Cougars tied the game up in the bottom of the second on senior left fielder Blake Way’s sacrifice fly to score senior Tyler Bielamowicz.
