| Cougars Get Road Win, 7-5 | Houston third baseman Keith Weed made his presence felt in the 7-5 Cougars triumph over the USC Trojans. Weed was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times. Rob Smink recorded his 1st save for Houston. The win takes Houston to 5-4.
Had Tommy Esper not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Esper hit a 3-run home run. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Cougars.
In postgame comments to the Houston Gazette, Esper said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
