Henry, Houston Seize 5-2 Win

HOUSTON – Houston grabbed three runs in the seventh inning, including the go-ahead RBI-double from Brad Burckel to slip past USF, 5-2 on Sunday afternoon from Don Sanders Field at Darryl & Lori Schroeder Park.
Houston starter Carter Henry (1-2) delivered a gutsy performance to help the Cougars earn the four-game split. The right-hander held the Bulls to 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position in 8.0 innings while working around eight hits alongside two runs, one walk and a strikeout.
The Cougars (15-20, 3-9 AAC) rallied with two outs in the seventh as Brandon Uhse drew a six-pitch walk and came around from first on a Burckel double into the left field corner. Two batters later, Ryan Hernandez punched a full-count, two-RBI single into left center for a 5-2 lead.
Houston reliever Sean Bretz tossed a perfect 1-2-3 ninth inning to lock up his first save of the season. Houston's top-two batters, Uhse and Burckel, combined for four hits and as many runs.
Houston used three hits including an RBI-double from Dylan Post, plating Burckel (single), to jump out to a 2-0 advantage in the first. Tyler Bielamowicz provided an RBI-groundout, scoring Uhse (leadoff double).
USF (15-19, 5-7 AAC) answered with two runs in the third highlighted by a Carmine Lane RBI-single and Daniel Cantu RBI-groundout. Bulls' starter Brad Lord allowed four hits and two runs in 4.1 innings.
The Cougars hit the road for three of their final series, visiting Tulane on Friday for doubleheader action with the first contest beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday's Game 3 is scheduled for 4 p.m. and Sunday's finale starts at 1 p.m. All four contests can be seen on ESPN+ and heard on Stretch Live.
