Houston Baptist 4, Prairie View A&M 3

HBU drove in the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth as they rallied for a 4-3 win over the Panthers.

Walter Wells and Greg Salcido reached base in the third and were rewarded for their efforts on Dominiq Harris' two-RBI single for a 2-0 lead.  HBU trimmed its deficit to 2-1 in the sixth with a two-out RBI single but the Panthers regained the run in the seventh as Robert Cossey doubled home Grant Dougherty, who reached on a leadoff single. 

A pair of PVAMU fielding errors in the bottom frame paved the way for HBU to draw within 3-2 followed by a game-tying single from Zach Nehrir.  A one-out double play ended PVAMU's scoring opportunity in the eighth while HBU used a pair of sacrifice bunts in the bottom half to move ahead 4-3 as PVAMU went down in order during the ninth.

Jordan Stewart fell to 0-1 on the season in a relief appearance while Cossey had two of PVAMU's six hits.  Harris led the Panthers with two RBIs.
