UH baseball’s hopes of winning the American Athletic Conference regular-season title were shattered as the Cougars dropped two of three to UCF over the weekend at Schroeder Park.
UH now sits in third place in the AAC standings with a 13-8 record.
Here is a closer look at each game from the weekend:
Friday
The Cougars erased a 4-0 deficit after the top of the first inning thanks to the big bats of senior first baseman Ryan Hernandez and graduate utility player Santiago Garcia to take Friday night’s series opener 9-6.
Hernandez, who entered the night having homered in three of UH’s last four games, got the Cougars on the board in the bottom of the second with a two-run shot to right-center.
