The Houston softball team’s losing skid reached five games after dropping Wednesday night’s game at Cougar Softball Stadium 4-3 to McNeese State.
First inning troubles continued for the Cougars, beginning after the very first batter of the game was hit by a pitch from sophomore starting pitcher Megan Lee. The runner scored during an attempt to steal second base after an errant throw from junior catcher Kati Ray Brown.
The Cowgirls’ momentum continued in the second inning, as they put together four hits to score in two additional runs to increase the lead 3-0.
McNeese’s lead became as large as four after catcher Chloe Gomez led the inning off with a solo home run.
