Blake Schultz – RHP – 6-2 – 225 – League City, Texas
Weekly totals: 1 G/0 GS, 1-0, 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
– Earned victory in Houston's 3-2 win over No. 19 Texas

– Lowered season ERA to 0.87 and improved to 2-0
Houston pitching shined, posting a 2.43 ERA and .202 opponent average but the Cougars' offense managed minimal production as the team went 1-3 in Week 3 … Houston batted .162 and scored a combined five runs including consecutive shutouts against Lamar and Texas … the Cougars were led by freshman Will Pendergrass who hit .286 (4-for-14) alongside seven total bases … catcher Kyle Lovelace threw out four would-be base stealers to up his season total to seven … Lamar broke a scoreless tie, pushing two across in the eighth inning to defeat Houston, 2-0 on Wednesday night at Vincent-Beck Stadium … the Cougars (6-2) were held to five hits, including two from outfielder Steven Rivas (2-for-2) and first baseman Ryan Hernandez (2-for-4) … after a scoreless game for much of the night, No. 19 Texas pushed the game-winning run across the plate in the eighth inning to defeat Houston 1-0 on Friday evening from Schroeder Park … starting pitcher Robert Gasser continued to excel for Houston (6-3) despite finishing the night with the no decision. The California native went 7.0 innings with five strikeouts and allowed two walks … Houston Baseball received stellar pitching and timely hitting including a walk-off home run from senior Tyler Bielamowicz to defeat No. 19 Texas, 3-2 in 11 innings on Saturday afternoon … Ben Sears (2-0) excelled on the mound as he tossed 5.1 innings with six strikeouts alongside a pair of walks … Houston pitching issued a season-high 10 walks and the Cougars could not overcome early mistakes, falling 8-2 to No. 19 Texas in the series finale on Sunday afternoon … Cameron Prayer (0-1) lasted just 0.2 innings, walking four of eight batters faced. The southpaw allowed four runs (one earned) alongside one hit … Houston will play four straight road games and seven of its next eight away from Schroeder Park beginning Wednesday at UIW.
