Â
Sam Houston put three quick runs on the board in the first inning. Walker Janek hit a two-run double, and Justin Wishkoski added an RBI single.
Â
After the Vaqueros cut the lead to two with a run in the third, but the Bearkats began to pull away in the fourth.
Â
Easton Loyd led off the frame with a single and advanced to second on a throwing error. Carlos Contreras followed with a single to setup an RBI double by Myles Jefferson and two-run single by Tyler Janek to make it 6-1.
Â
That was plenty of support for starter Gavi Coldiron. He went five solid innings with five strikeouts while only allowing one earned run on three hits to earn the win
Â
Sam Houston added two runs in the fifth on a single by Loyd and a sacrifice fly by Jefferson. Joe Redfield added an RBI double in the sixth, Clayton Chadwick drove in a run with a groundout and the final run came on a single by Jefferson in the ninth.
