HOUSTON, Texas - The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (9-19, 2-10 SLC) lost the third game of their three-game series against the Houston Christian Huskies (17-8. 10-2 SLC) this afternoon, 6-4.

Neither team could score in the first two innings, as 'Jacks starter Garrett Landry did a good job keeping the Husky bats off balance. In the third, the Lumberjacks struck first. After Owen Hooper reached on an error and Ben Hoshizaki was hit by a pitch, Cooper Schneider would rip a single down the line, scoring two runs to put SFA up 2-0.

In the fourth, Mark Henning would lead off the inning with a double and score one batter later on a Dante Turgeon RBI single, extending SFA's lead to 3-0. Both teams were kept off the scoreboard in the fifth, but HCU would strike back in the sixth, scoring three runs to tie the game at 3.

In the seventh, the Lumberjacks would retake the lead, courtesy of Dante Turgeon's fourth home run of the year. After seven innings, SFA led 4-3. In the bottom of the eighth, HCU would put up another three spot, taking a 6-4 lead going into the final frame. Despite a two-out single from Mason Poppen, the Lumberjacks couldn't bring any runs across and would lose 6-4.

Jonathan Valdez (1-2) took the loss, while Jacob Cyr (1-0) won his first game of the year.

Top performers for the 'Jacks
