The baseball team’s struggles against the Sam Houston State University Bearkats continued Tuesday when the Cougars fell 3-2 to their Interstate 45 rivals marking the third loss to SHSU this season. Houston is now the loser of three consecutive games.
Blown leads have become a prevailing theme for the Cougars and Tuesday’s contest was no different.
Jumping out to an early 2-0 lead after the second inning following RBIs by Lael Lockhart Jr. and Connor Wong proved not to be enough. The Bearkats came storming back late with a pair of runs in the sixth inning to even the score at two and a third run in the seventh inning to take the lead.
