Houston and its cousin Sam Houston State went head-to-head on Tuesday night, and UH came away with the close 2-1 win to take game one of the Don Sanders Cup — but the biggest news of the night was that it was head coach Todd Whitting’s 300th win.
“Well… you just try to get 300 more, I guess. The most important one is the next one,” Whitting said.
Redshirt freshman Derrick Cherry continued his hot streak with a lead off double to start the second inning. Freshman Johnathon Thomas followed that up with a two out, 0-2 count double hit to send Cherry home for the first points of the game.
