No Surprise in Game 2—UH Dominates

UH Pours It On To Vanquish the Herd
By Mark Anderson

Marshall came to Recking Field hoping to put the recent past behind them. Unfortunately for the Herd, the past became a present reality as the Cougs defeated Marshall by a score of 9-1.

Houston had 13 hits—including six extra base hits—to pace the Cougars this afternoon. But not to be left out was Ricky Hargrove’s pitching performance. Hargrove allowed only one run in seven innings. The game was close early, but one turning point may have been a pickoff by Hargrove of Brit Vincent at first. That seemed to take the wind out of the sails of the Thundering Herd. They never seemed to recover, and things only snowballed as the game went on.
