Bella Perez followed later in the inning, adding two runs of insurance with a blast over the left-field wall to quell the Hurricane (2-1).
Sam Houston's luck ran out in the nigthcap, however, as the Islanders (2-3) opened up a 3-0 lead and held off a late Bearkat rally to earn their second win of the weekend.
The Kats will close out the opening weekend with a game vs No. 2 Texas on Sunday beginning at 2:00 p.m.
