Houston baseball walked away with a one point victory comeback in their mid-week matchup against McNeese at Schroeder Park.
After scoring four runs in the first two innings, Mcneese established a commanding 4-0 lead.
The Cougars answered with back-to-back doubles from freshman infielder Ace Reese and senior outfielder Cary Arbolida, which sent both senior catcher Anthony Tulimero and Reese across the plate.
Senior outfielder Tre Jones hit a single along the right side that drove Arbolida home and put the Cougars within one.
Mcneese scored a run of their own, and brought in three unanswered runs at the top of the fourth, bringing the score to 8-3.
At the bottom of the seventh, Tulimero drove in senior catcher Jonathan French home after a fly out to the infield.
Senior infielder Harold Coll chipped into the deficit, and hit a single plating senior utility Justin Murray and sophomore infielder Coby Dejesus. To cap off the five-spot inning, Reese and Coll crossed the plate off a Mcneese error.
The Cougars finished victorious with a score of 9-8 after a Mcneese wild pitch in the 10th inning with senior outfielder Jacob Schoenvogel coming home.
Currently, the Cougars are competing in a series with UCF at Schroeder Park.
