The Houston softball team split its doubleheader against Sam Houston State on Wednesday afternoon in Huntsville.
The first game was a pitcher’s duel between junior right-hander Rachel Hertenberger and Sam Houston’s Mika Vento, with Hertenberger throwing her second complete game of the season.
Sam Houston got the scoring started early in the first inning after its leadoff hitter reached base and was brought in with an RBI single into centerfield to give them the 1-0 lead.
Like how Sam Houston got its first run, the UH softball team responded in the top of the third when freshman outfielder Paige Lott reached base via an error to lead off the inning.
