Houston, Sam Houston meet Tuesday
HOUSTON – Houston Baseball looks to secure the Don Sanders Cup when it faces Sam Houston in the second of three meetings this season at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday from Sanders Field at Schroeder Park.
The Cougars (19-9), who took 2 of 3 from Wichita State in their American opening series over the weekend, defeated Sam Houston, 9-1 in the Sanders Cup opener on March 22. The Bearkats won the first two editions (2017-18) of the Sanders Cup before Houston swept the three-game set in 2019.
Sam Houston (16-12) is looking to bounce back after dropping 2 of 3 to UTRGV in WAC play over the weekend. The Bearkats rank 20th nationally in batting average (.305) and are 24th in hits (295). The program has scored 10-plus runs in three of the last five games.
