2/23/2015 12:00:00 AM | Baseball
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Houston Baseball sophomore Andrew Lantrip was tabbed the American Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week for his impressive outing and win over No. 20 Alabama last Friday night at Cougar Field, the league office announced Monday.
Lantrip, a right-hander tossed 7.0 innings, allowing just one run on seven hits with one walk and five strikeouts for his second straight win this season.
The Livingston, Texas native held an Alabama team that scored 36 combined runs in its first three games to just one run.
After his first two starts, Lantrip leads the pitching staff with a 0.75 ERA and in 12.0 innings pitched, he has fanned 10 and walked just two for a 2-0 record. Through those starts, he is holding opponents to a .182 average.
Lantrip was named to the American Athletic Conference Weekly Honor last week following his win over Minnesota. This is the first weekly honor for the Cougars this season. He played a critical role in Houston's 2-1 series win over No. 20 Alabama to improve to 6-1 on the year.
He is joined by Kyle Marsh of UCF - the league's Hitter of the Week.
American Athletic Conference Honor Roll honorees this week: Ian Happ, Cincinnati; Anthony Kay, UConn; Luke Lowery, East Carolina; Jimmy Herget, USF; Hunter Hope, Tulane.

SINGLE-GAME TICKETS

Along with the online option, fans can purchase tickets by visiting the Athletics Ticket Office at TDECU Stadium Monday through Friday, 10 a.m., to 5:30 p.m. or can call 713-GO-COOGS.
Houston Baseball will offer variable pricing on its single-game tickets and group rates.
For the first time ever, the pricing breakdown will be determined whether or not you purchase your single-game tickets online vs. at the gate the day of the game as well as whether the Cougars play on a weekday (Monday-Thursday) or weekend (Friday-Sunday).

As noted in the table, variable pricing occurs. For weekday (Tuesday nights) online purchases, fans can take in a game, ranging from $5-$7 depending on the choice of seating. If you choose to purchase the day of the game as a Weekday Walk-Up, you will pay roughly $2 more than the online price ($7-$9).
Weekend (Friday-Sunday) online pricing will range from $6-$8 per game, while Weekend Walk-Up pricing the day of the game will run a fan anywhere from $8-$10.
GROUP RATES
Group rates are also available (as noted in the table). Weekday (Tuesday) and Weekend (Friday-Sunday) pricing occurs. Groups of 10-24 are set at $4-$5 per person, while groups of 25+ are $3-$4 per person.
With single-game tickets available now, Houston Baseball still encourages supporters to become Season Ticket members and enjoy the attractive pricing and rewards that come with up-front purchasing for the entire 2015 season.
WHY ARE SEASON TICKETS MORE ATTRACTIVE?
Season Tickets are as low as $99 for general admission seating and the program offers an Anytime Tickets package that allows fans to use the 31 tickets how they choose (1 per game, multiple per game or all in one game). The Anytime Tickets are only available in general admission seating.
For just $200, you can enjoy reserved chairback seating on the lower level of the concourse at the stadium.
A new additional "Reserved 2" seating option for the 2015 season is also available with an assigned seat in sections 200, 201 and 202 for $150.
If you breakdown the season ticket pricing of $99 General Admission, the pricing of $150 for Reserved 2 or even the pricing of $200 for Reserved 1 (chairback), you are spending less money per game than purchasing single-game tickets.
HOW TO PURCHASE
To purchase tickets in advance, fans must visit the Athletics Ticket Stadium Office located on the northeast corner of TDECU Stadium, just outside of Gate 1 off Cullen Boulevard. Parking is available in the TDECU Stadium parking garage with the first 30 minutes free of charge.
