UH baseball is one win away from hoisting the American Athletic Conference tournament crown and punching its ticket to the NCAA Tournament after bouncing back from a loss on Saturday afternoon to come back and defeat UCF 9-6 in the second game of the day in Clearwater, Florida.
Sophomore catcher Anthony Tulimero was the hero for the Cougars, hitting a three-run homer to left in the ninth inning of the day’s second game to send the Cougars the conference championship game.
The Cougars will take on East Carolina at 11 a.m. on Sunday in a winner-take-all game for the AAC tournament championship.
