Despite limiting the No. 1-ranked Red Raiders to only three runs, Houston failed to muster up enough offense, falling to Texas Tech 3-2 in 10 innings to close out the Round Rock Classic.
With the loss, Houston fell to 2-4 on the season heading into Tuesday’s home matchup against Texas-Rio Grande Valley.
The Cougars got on the scoreboard first on the final day of the Round Rock Classic finale as sophomore second baseman Brad Burckel drove in senior center fielder Tyler Bielamowicz on an RBI groundout to second in the top of the first.
The Red Raiders answered back with a run of their own in the bottom of the first inning off a Dru Baker solo home run.
