Multi-HR Game for Martin in 9-7 Win
The Houston Cougars trumped the USC Trojans, 9-7, at Nesquehoning College Fields. Houston center fielder Brian Martin was named player of the game for his performance. He belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. The Trojans, now 22-21, have lost 5 straight.

Houston pinch hitter J.J. Neely said he wanted to hit the ball hard when he batted in the top of the eighth. He not only hit it hard, he hit a fastball from Dave Ervin deep for a 2-run home run. It resulted in a 8-7 lead for Houston.

"Everyone's trying too hard," said losing manager Tommy Hayes. "If we learn to relax, we'll be fine."
