Cougars Need Extra Frames to Get Past Trojans
Houston third baseman Jesse Lausier made his presence felt in the 7-3 Cougars triumph over the USC Trojans. Lausier was 2 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. Houston is off to a hot start at 2-1.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Gabe Berzins came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing USC pitcher Craig Sheehan, he hit a 2-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 3-2.

"We didn't go down without a fight," said USC manager Brian McCauley.
