Despite getting only two hits, UH baseball capitalized on its opportunities to earn the first win of the season, defeating McNeese 3-2 on Tuesday night in Lake Charles, Lousiana.
After a pair of walks to lead off the top of the first inning, sophomore center fielder Samuel Tormos singled up the middle to drive in two Cougars.
Sophomore catcher Anthony Tulimero followed with a single of his own, advancing Tormos to third. But the Cougars were unable to cash in another run after junior shortstop Ian McMillan struck out looking to end the inning.
The UH baseball team did not record another hit over the game’s final eight innings.
