SB: HCU felled by late Texas Southern rally

Huskies finish off two-week stay at home with three-game SLC series against SFA this weekend



HOUSTON --- Houston Christian University saw a two-run lead evaporate in the bottom of the sixth as Texas Southern University exploded for six runs and went on to claim a 6-2 win at Husky Field on Tuesday afternoon. The game, moved from Memorial Park to HCU due to scheduling conflicts, was a scoreless pitcher's duel for four innings before the Huskies grabbed their short-lived lead in the fifth.
 
HCU pushed two runs across in the fifth, both with two outs. Leah Hammack had a one-out single, and Raenna Liscano drew a two-out walk. Pinch-hitter Breana Herrera and Cara Pitman then followed with consecutive RBI singles through the right side to put the Huskies up 2-0.
 
In the bottom of the sixth, the Tigers went to work. Marisa Perla singled and later came home on an RBI double by Karisma Garcia to cut the HCU lead in half. An RBI single through the left side by Lanay Carr knotted the game and brought on a pitching change for HCU with runners on second and third.
 
Pinch-hitter Kiersten Salinas then singled home pinch-runner Zariah London with the go-ahead run, and Mia Montemayor doubled the advantage for the Tigers when she reached on an error to score Carr. Kylie Wilson then capped the inning with a single to right center that sored two runs.
 
Jocelyn Briseno went 2-4 while Herrera and Pitman each collected a hit and run driven in. The Huskies had eight hits on the evening, but stranded 11 runners.
 
Addy Prasifka (0-8) took the loss, going 5.1 innings and scattering seven hits while giving up four runs.
 
Kylie Wilson led the Tigers (18-6) going 2-4 with two RBI. Lanay Carr went 2-3 with an RBI and Marisa Perla was 2-4. Miranda Pena (6-0) picked up the win with two innings of scoreless relief.
 
HCU falls to 5-24 overall. The Huskies will finish up their two-week stay on the home dirt as they return to conference action with a three-game series against Stephen F. Austin State University beginning on Friday.
