Owls Next Host Big 12 Power Oklahoma In Weekend Series
The Rice offense was in high gear early in the contest. Senior Andrew Dunlap provided two big hits going 3-for-4 with five RBI on the night. He belted a three-run homer in the third and a two-run double in the fourth as the Blue & Gray built a 9-5 lead after the first four frames.
The Bearkats continued to fight, and chipped away for two runs in the sixth and two more in the eighth to tie the game, 9-9. The Southland Conference preseason favorite scored the go-ahead run in the ninth as the Owls gave up two walks, a base hit and hit a batter before ending the inning.
Rice is now 6-8 on the season. The Owls' win streak was snapped at three games, but the team has five more at Reckling Park in the current homestand. Rice next plays Big 12 foe Oklahoma in a weekend series March 8-10. Friday's first pitch vs. the Sooners is set for 6:30 pm.
