Cougars Conquer Tulane in Opener
4/14/2022 9:26:00 PM | Baseball
HOUSTON – Houston Baseball strung together hits offensively and the Cougars rode a steady start from right-hander Jaycob Deese to a 6-3 win against Tulane in the series opener on Thursday night from Sanders Field at Schroeder Park.
Tulane starter Grant Siegel (6-1), who had only allowed six earned runs in 42.0 innings entering Thursday, was tagged for five earned runs (six total) in 4.0 innings. The Cougars collected seven hits against the freshman highlighted by a three-run second inning.
Houston (22-12, 4-3 American) swiped five bases, one off its season high, and made the most of its eight hits while capitalizing on two Tulane (22-11-1, 5-2 American) errors. The loss was just the Green Wave's second in their last eight contests.
After using a double steal to start the scoring in the first, Samuel Benjamin tacked on an RBI-double and Brandon Uhse shot a two-run single up the middle in the second. Uhse, starting at designated hitter, finished 3-for-4 with three RBIs including launching his sixth homer of the season in the fifth.
Deese (3-2) held Tulane to single runs in the second and fifth while using a double play and strikeout to strand a runner at third in the seventh. The Houston native held Tulane to 1-for-10 (.100) with runners in scoring position, tossing 7.0 frames, working around eight hits while allowing two runs with two walks and as many strikeouts.
Cougar closer Ben Sears allowed three hits and one run with a strikeout in 2.0 innings. Tulane reliever Chandler Welch tossed the final 4.0 innings, holding Houston to one hit with a pair of walks and two strikeouts.
