The Lyle/Pacelli baseball team managed just three hits as it lost to Houston (3-7 overall, 3-4 SEC) 3-2 on the road Thursday.

Carter Guthmiller didn’t allow an earned run in seven innings of work, but he had to take the tough luck loss for the Athletics (4-6 overall, 3-3 SEC).

“Carter pitched a great game for us and gave us a chance to win and that’s all I can ask for,” L/P head coach Dan Zielke said. “We hit the ball around pretty well tonight but Houston played really good defense and made some game saving plays.”
