Houston will counter with junior righty Shea Hancock. Hancock will be making his second start of the season and has 11 appearances out of the bullpen. He is 1-1 with an ERA of 3.97.
The Aggies defeated the Cougars, 3-2, earlier this season at Cougar Field. Freshman outfielder Kyle Colligan accounted for all three of A&M's runs in the game, blasting a two-run homer and scoring the third run after a leadoff triple.
Kyle Thebeau earned the win, allowing one unearned run on seven hits in seven-complete innings.
