LAKE CHARLES - Despite getting eight-plus innings of no-hit baseball from their bullpen, the McNeese Cowboys (2-2) fell to the Houston Cougars (1-3) in a low scoring 3-2 affair. Both teams combined for just six hits on a night where offense was at a premium. The highlight of the night for McNeese was a game-tying two-run home run to left-field by DH Tre' Obregon III in the third inning.

Key Moments:

• The Cougars jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning on a 2 RBI single by CF Samuel Tormos. 
• Tyler Stone entered the game with two runners on and one out remaining in the first and stuck out Ian McMillan looking. 
• McNeese had Reid Bourque on second and Antonio Gauthier on first with one out in the second but were unable to cash in.  
• Tre' Obregon hit a two-run home run to score Brad Burckel in the third inning to tie the game at two. 
• In the sixth, Houston was able to capitalize on a pair of walks and an error by McNeese to gain a one-run lead. 

Notes:

• Pitcher Tyler Stone had an impressive McNeese debut pitching 2.1 innings allowing no hits and striking out six batters of the seven outs. 
• Stone, Brian Shadrick, Davis Burgin, Christian Vega, and Burrell Jones pitched 8.1 innings of no-hit baseball. 
• Burgin drew the loss despite permitting an unearned run. 
• The staff recorded 14 strikeouts on the night. 
• DH Tre' Obregon's HR was his first of the year.
• C Andruw Gonzales tailed his second hit of the season in as many games.
• Antonio Gauthier and Nate Collins were both hit by a pitch.
