One day later, and even though the fight is still there. The result is the same, for now.

   Even with scoring a run in the eighth and three runs in the bottom of the nineth. That was still not enough put a dent in the runs Rice had amassed on this day, smattering runs in every inning except three. The Owls made in attempt to go the, "everybody get hit today." And with Lewis, (Jordan) going for UH today you would have looked for a better outing. And with that, I' ll let UH Head Baseball Coach Todd Whitting speak on his Cougars.
