After defeating ranked opponents the past two weekends, the No. 19 Cougars dropped two games to lose the series against the unranked Knights this weekend at Schroeder Park.
Houston’s batters struggled to chain hits together in game one, then the pitching broke down late to give UCF game two. The Cougars fired on all cylinders in the final game to overcome the Knights and avoid the team’s first sweep of the season.
UCF sophomore Ray Alejo started game one by getting on base with a hit, and then a string of hits sent him home and loaded the bases.
