Meredith worked 5 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and one run while striking out seven and walking none.
"He did a good job throwing strikes," said UH head coach Josh Petty. "He threw to contact and the defense did well behind him. I was proud of his effort."
Greene had a double and triple among his three hits and drove in a run.
"He had a good day," said Petty. "He also closed out the last 1 2/3 innings on the mound because we pulled Meredith at 72 pitches so he could come back Tuesday if we need him."
Will Joyner, who had two hits and scored three times, got UH on the board in the bottom of the first when he stole home on the back end of a double steal. UH scored again in the second, three times in the third, and never looked back.
Connor Horton also added a pair of hits for the Buccaneers, who improved to 18-11 on the season.
Chandler Raleigh had two hits to lead the Raiders (8-15) at the plate.
