THE SERIES

This is the 24th all-time meeting against Houston Christian.
The Cougars are 4-3 against the Huskies in the Todd Whitting era.
Houston is undefeated against Southern, with both meetings coming in the last two seasons.
The Cougars have a 23-11 run differential against the Jaguars in the two meetings.

QUICK HITTERS

Third baseman Anthony Tulimero hit home runs in three straight games (at Sam Houston, vs Texas twice).
Right-handed pitcher Owen Woodward twirled 4.1 perfect innings with a career-high 10 strikeouts against Texas on Friday before giving up his first hit. The righty then struck out the next batter grabbing his arm, exiting the game after delivering a strike the next at bat.
The Cougars have scored five or more runs in seven straight games and have recorded 10+ hits in seven of the last eight games.
Second baseman Harold Coll hit multiple home runs in Lubbock and is on a team-leading six-game hitting streak after notching his third three-hit game of the season.
The Cougars have hit multiple home runs in seven consecutive games.
Houston's 10-game stretch not allowing a home run was snapped on Friday night at Texas Tech. The 10-game stretch is the second-longest in program history in the metal bat era.
The Cougars snapped Lamar's Division I-leading 13-game winning streak with a 6-4 win on Tuesday. The Cardinals went on to sweep then #20 Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., over the weekend.
Coll set a career-best with five RBI on Saturday against BYU, driving in two on a home run and then a three-RBI double in the eighth inning.
Right-handed pitcher Duncan Howard gave up his first walk of the season in his fifth start on Sunday. He currently does not qualify for the NCAA lead in walks-per-nine innings after missing two starts.
The Cougars' conference opening sweep of Baylor was just the fourth conference opening series sweep by a Todd Whitting team (2024, 2018, 2013, 2011).
Murray's three-double performance against Louisiana was the first three-double game by a Cougar since Lael Lockhart Jr. at Memphis on 4/13/17.
Coll broke the Astros Foundation College Classic record for stolen bases in a game when he swiped a career-high three bags against Louisiana.
Houston's 27 runs against Prairie View were the most since 1993 when the Cougars scored 27 against Illinois State and tied for the second-most runs scored in a game in program history.

LAST TIME OUT

Houston led 8-5 heading into the ninth inning against Texas before giving up 8 runs in the ninth inning to the Longhorns.
