Four-run fifth powers Cougars to victory
HOUSTON – The University of Houston Softball team concluded its weekend at the Houston Classic with a 6-2, comeback victory over Oregon State on Sunday afternoon at Cougar Softball Stadium.
Trailing by a score in the fifth, the Cougars (6-4) used a four-run frame to take the lead over the Beavers (7-2), which proved to be the difference in the game. The Cougars collected three hits in the inning, powered by a home run from sophomore catcher Kati Ray Brown and a couple of singles.
Brown's two RBIs on the day marks her third multiple-RBI game of the season. She was joined by senior infielders Sarah Queen and Kelli Montgomery as those responsible for driving in the Cougars' runs on the day.
