Cougars Tag Ragin Cajuns with 7-5 Loss
The rain came, as predicted, but the Houston Cougars and Louisiana-Layfayette Ragin Cajuns were able to complete their ballgame.

The Houston Cougars stopped the Louisiana-Layfayette Ragin Cajuns, 7-5, at Field of the Dukes. The Cougars got a big game from Mike Hess, who went 2-2 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Kory Sanders, now 3-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings.

Houston used a well-timed hit by Tony Bess to capture the win. The third baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cougars ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"We ground out the win," said Bess. "That's all that matters."

The Cougars, at 20-24, sit in 18th place in the Cliff Gustafson.
