"Gabe Guerra and Kleberg Bank could not be bigger supporters of Islander Baseball," said Islanders head coach
Scott Malone. "Kleberg Bank has been an outstanding supporter of Islander Baseball over the years. I take great pride in bringing teams from the highest level of Division I baseball to the Coastal Bend each year to compete in the Kleberg Bank College Classic. Bringing the University of Houston to Whataburger Field for a three game series this year is no different. The Houston Cougars are one of the top baseball teams in the state of Texas every year. Baseball fans in Corpus Christi need to have the dates circled on their calendars."
