| Transcript | WINNING GAME AFTER GAME v/"\ The University of Houston has a long and glorious history of athletic greatness. Though every sport has its good years and its bad years, every sport here proudly lives up to the Cougar tradition. Baseball is the exception to the rule, not in that they fail to make their fellow Cougars proud, but rather in the sense that they never seem to have a bad year. 2002 was no exception as the team once again demonstrated extraordinary talent and sportsmanship on the field of play, and assembled an absolutely marvelous season, to the utter delight of Cougar fans everywhere. The UH baseball team was phenomenal at home and on the road, winning yet another Conference USA title and advancing far into the National Baseball Tournament. The Cougars finished with a marvelous 48-17 record, and won 15 out of their last 18 games. The Cougars, who ranked in the top ten nationally for virtually the entire season, fielded perhaps one of the greatest teams in history, with stand-outs like sophomore pitcher Brad Sullivan and junior catcher Chris Snyder. The team advanced all the way to the Super Regionals in the national tournament, before bowing out after consecutive losses to the eventual champions of the College World Series from the University of Texas. It was truly a year to remember for UH's phenomenal baseball team. By Matthew E. Caster Sophomore Austin Faught winds up his infamous split-finger fastball and prepares to gun it past an unsuspecting batter from the University of Texas. The Cougars showed unbelievable depth and talent at the pitching position. Photo by Kevin Harwerth Oports |
