HUNTSVILLE — Sam Houston opened its weekend series with a shutout victory over Middle Tennessee on Friday night at the Bearkat Softball Complex.

The Bearkats (22-15, 7-3 Conference USA) jumped out early in the first inning. Bella Perez delivered an RBI double, followed by an RBI single from Veronica Harrison to give Sam Houston a 2-0 lead.

Tiffany Sanchez controlled the game in the circle, recording nine strikeouts while allowing just four hits.

Middle Tennessee (13-17, 3-7 CUSA) was led by leadoff hitter Macie Harter, who finished with two hits, including a double.

Sam Houston threatened to add to its lead in later innings. Kyla Heine singled to right-center field in the second, but the Bearkats were unable to capitalize. In the fifth, Morgan Holliday singled to the left side to spark another opportunity, though the inning again ended without additional runs.

Harrison continues her pursuit of the program's single-season home run record.

The Bearkats will continue the series against the Blue Raiders at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Bearkat Softball Complex.
