The Bears added three more runs in the fifth to take a 9-0 lead.Â
Sam Houston showed signs of life in the bottom of the fifth, loading the bases and pushing one run across, but could not sustain the rally. The Bearkats finished with four hits, with Sophia Lundstrom and Kinsey Hobbs each recording a double.Â
