Stewart-Vaughn Walks Off Tulsa

Redshirt senior seals win on her Senior Day
HOUSTON – A three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh from redshirt senior outfielder Lindsey Stewart-Vaughn lifted the University of Houston Softball team to a 6-3 victory over Tulsa on Saturday.
With the win, the Cougars improve to 17-31 on the year and 9-14 in American Athletic Conference action, while the Golden Hurricane falls to 23-14 and 14-8 in league play.
All of Houston's runs on Saturday were scored off home runs, as redshirt senior Sarah Queen and senior Tierrah Williams joined Stewart-Vaughn as those to hit home runs in the game. Queen finished the day leading the team in hits with a 2-for-3 performance.
In the circle, the Cougars were paced by sophomore Megan Lee, who surrendered just one run over her five innings of work. Sophomore Logan Hulon came out of the bullpen and struck out four of the nine batters she faced to earn her fourth win of the season.
KEY INNINGS
3rd | After senior Rock Benavides reached base with a walk, Queen connected on her 12th home run of the season to put Houston out in front first at 2-0.
4th | The solo home run down the leftfield line from Williams extended the Cougar lead to 3-0.
7th | Tulsa managed to tie the score with a two-run shot, but the Cougars found a rebuttal in the bottom of the inning. Once senior Aspen Howie started the rally with a base hit that she legged out for a double, freshman Paige Lott used a pinch-hit blooper to move Howie to third and put a pair on base for Houston. Stewart-Vaughn then stepped up to the plate and drove a 2-0 pitch over the wall to complete the walk-off victory for the Cougars.
