Baseball routs Sam Houston State, 12-3, behind Cooper

AUSTIN, Texas—Texas Baseball pounded out 14 hits behind a stellar start from right-hander Morgan Cooper in Tuesday night's 12-3 win over Sam Houston State at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

Making his second start of the season, Cooper (1-0) dominated through six innings of work against Sam Houston (5-9). After allowing two first-inning singles, the right-hander sat down 11 straight and 15 of his next 17 while fanning a career-high eight batters and walking none. The outing was Cooper's third since undergoing Tommy John surgery and missing all of the 2015 season.

Cooper wasn't the only star of the night however, as the Longhorns offense tied a season-high with 14 hits.
