The Cougars baseball team dropped its weekend series against the Kansas State Wildcats at Schroeder Park, ending its five-game home winning streak.
Game 1
Houston started red-hot, jumping out to a 3-0 lead over Kansas State, but eventually fell 5-3.
Senior Justin Murray hit a home run early in the first inning to put the Cougars ahead. Freshmen Ace Reese added another in the third frame to extend the lead. Things turned sour after two errors in the sixth inning proved costly allowing the Wildcats to capitalize and eventually seize the lead.
Game 2
Again, the Cougars allowed a Wildcat comeback after holding a 5-2 lead seven frames into the second game of the series but couldn’t maintain its composure down the stretch and lost 6-5.
