Wes Musick
After winning the Conference USA Tournament championship in 2008, the University of Houston baseball team returns in 2009 with high expectations. The Cougars return 2009 C-USA Preseason All-Conference Team selections, junior Wes Musick and sophomore Chase Dempsay, in addition to sophomore Blake Kelso, who was named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team a year ago.
UH put together a thrilling comeback at the Conference Tournament that included playing its way through the losers bracket to defeat Marshall, 3-2, to take home the title and advance to the 18th NCAA Regional appearance in school history.
Joining the Cougars this season are 12 newcomers that will be looked upon to make an immediate impact.
“We’ve got good young talent that is going to contribute from the field and on the mound,” head coach Rayner Noble said. “We have some marvelous freshman walk-ons and at the same time as our returners can make strong contributions in what we’re doing.”
