    "Everybody get a hit," that's what the Bronco fans were chanting in the stands. And apparently that was the objective today. 2 Runs in the first, a run in the third, 8 in the fifth, 4 in the sixth, and 1 more to insure in the top of the seventh. 16 runs, 21 hits, 10 left on base, and 1 error. Baseball goes that way sometimes, whether at home or on the road. UTPA Bronco baseball coach Manny Mantrana talks about his teams performance in his post game. HBU, even though they started the week end tied for second with Northern Colorado in conference play at 8-4. that could change by Sunday. Husky baseball coach Jared Moon mentions that his guys forget about today and look to get 3 out of 4 to finish the weekend.
     The teams return to the Husky Field tomorrow for a double header. 12 and 2, to finish up the series.

The 5th Annual Striking out Breast Cancer game against the (#19) Texas A&M Aggie softball team gave the over flow crowd at Cougar Softball Stadium something to shout about. After UH starting pitcher Fr, Diedre Outon got the first two Aggie batters out, a single by A&M's 1b,Rhiannon Kliesing, then 2b,Melissa Dumezich homers, The Cougar pitching staff (Sr,P Donna Bourgeois) and fielding knuckled down and didn't allow the Aggies to threaten them with another run until late. That run was set up by a walk by c,Nicole Morgan, who is pinch run for by Andrea Tovar, who scores on a throwing error by the UH cf. 

    UH did all of their scoring in the bottom of the third. C, Haley Outon leads off with a single, advancing to second on a sacrifice by rf, Angela Spittler. Lf, Kathy Beth Sherman singles, advancing both Outon and Spittler one base, then a throwing error by the Aggie catcher, scores Outon. And moving Spittler to third. The next batter 3b,Holley Anderson walks, then 1b,Melissa Gregson cranks a homer to center field, clearing the bases for a 4-2 Cougar lead. The 4 runs would be enough for the win.

C-USA, BIG XII Baseball; RICE vs Texas A&M. RICE wins 2-0.

A Midweek Big12, C-USA Showdown

    It was another good day for college midweek baseball at Reckling Park, this time against Big12 Conference representative, Texas A&M. Rice F, Rh John Simms for Rice and So, Lh Brandon Parrent for A&M were the starters. After having a bad first outing against Stanford to start the season, today Rice’s Simms found what was working and stuck to it. Keeping his speed up around 87-95 and going 7 2/3 innings, which is his longest outing of year. He gave (#5) (24-8) A&M all they could handle. Trying to avenge an earlier season loss to (#22) (23-13) Rice. A&M got only 4 hits and left 3 on base. A season high of 4,785 witnessed a stellar pitching duel that lasted until the eighth inning when Rice’s Perrott scored on RBI single to left field by Keenan Cook. Rice scored earlier on an unearned run. That was started by a throwing error by A&M’s SS, Kenny Jackson. Allowing Michael Ratterree to advance to second base, then in successive plays, a ground out to short, advance to third, a ground out to short again allows Ratterree to score.

The Silver Glove series continues, Rice wins 7-0. Rice leads the series 2-0.

    It was the second inning, when Rice got 4 hits, 4 runs and 9 at bats. That UH's pitching took a beating. To not  allow more than 4 runs at that point in the game gives you a shot later on. Take away that inning and it's only a 3-0 decision. UH Head BB Coach Todd Whitting talks about the team having more game left after the second inning and their offensive let downs tonight.
