HOUSTON, Texas — Sam Houston State capitalized on two errors by Prairie View A&M during a three-run fifth inning and held on for a 4-2 win Saturday in an elimination game in the Houston Regional.Justin Jackson (9-4) allowed two runs — no earned— on eight hits with two strikeouts in eight-plus innings for Sam Houston State (39-21).
“Prairie View was putting the ball in play early in the count, but our defense did a great job behind me,” Jackson said.
SHSU reliever Michael Burchett worked out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the ninth without giving up a run for his ninth save.
“I just wanted to throw strikes and get some ground balls,” Burchett said. “That strikeout for the second out was really a tough at-bat. We’re just excited to still be playing.”
