UH was within reach late in its Tuesday night matchup against No. 15 Texas A&M but could not quite get the job done, dropping its fourth straight game in a 5-1 loss to the Aggies at Schroeder Park.
Junior right-handed pitcher Josh Ekness put on a serviceable performance in his first start of the season. He allowed two earned runs and struck out in his 6 2/3 innings on the mound.
Down 2-0 in the fifth inning, UH finally got things going at the plate as senior infielder Ian McMillan scored off of a single from senior right fielder Brandon Uhse.
