Houston fell 4-3 but rebounded with an 18-5, six-inning run rule to split a doubleheader at UT Arlington on Tuesday afternoon at Allan Saxe Field.
 
With the split, the Cougars improve to 26-23 overall, while the Mavericks move to 27-23 on the season.
 
Sophomore Presley Bell took the loss in game one to fall to 2-6 in the circle. Bell surrendered two runs (one earned) on three hits in three innings of relief of freshman Trystan Melancon. In game two, sophomore Savannah Heebner improved to 13-9 in the circle behind five innings of two-run softball before freshman Hannah Wolfe pitched the sixth and final frame.

The Cougars will close the regular season with a three-game American Athletic Conference series against USF across May 5-7. The series will serve as “Senior Weekend” in recognition of Houston’s three seniors – Jaylin Baldridge, Savannah Martin and Shelby Miller.
