Hale's two home runs propel 10-6 win over Gaels

Image

PROVO, Utah – Senior Brock Hale slugged two home runs and freshman Reid McLaughlin was perfect in relief as BYU baseball beat Saint Mary's 10-6 in the series opener Thursday at Larry H. Miller Field.

"We really swung the bat well," BYU head coach Mike Littlewood said. "We answered back in the first inning and that carried us to the victory tonight."

BYU vs. Saint Mary's Box Score

Game Summary

  • First-inning home runs from Brock Hale and Mitch McIntyre marked the first two-homer inning for the Cougars this season
  • Hale's two home runs tie a career high he originally set two years ago in a game against Gonzaga
  • BYU is on a six-game winning streak, the Cougars' second streak of six wins this season

Player Highlights

  • Brock Hale: 3-4, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R, BB
  • Mitch McIntyre: 2-4, HR, 2 RBI, 3 R
  • Reid McLaughlin: S (2), 3.2 IP, 3 K, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER

The Gaels scored two in runs in the first and would have had more except for a catch in center field that saw BYU's Danny Gelalich catch and hold on to a deep fly ball before running full speed into the wall.

The Cougars responded with five in the bottom half. Hale blasted a three-run homer over the center field fence. After a Jackson Cluff single, Mitch McIntyre also homered to center field.

Another highlight defensive play came in the bottom of the third when Jaren Hall, who entered for an injured Gelalich, made a leaping catch at the fence in center for the last out of the inning.

Keaton Kringlen and Noah Hill picked up an RBI each in the third inning. In the fourth, Hale hit another home run, a solo shot to left-center, to make it an 8-2 lead for BYU. For Hale, it made two career two-home run games, with the other coming on May 18, 2017, against Gonzaga.

Both teams got one across in the fifth inning, with Hall scoring McIntyre from second on a single through the left side.

Jordan Wood, who started on the mound for the Cougars, improved to 4-0 by going 5.1 innings with four strikeouts. Reid McLaughlin entered the game for BYU in the sixth with the bases loaded and one out, inducing a 1-2-3 double-play ball to preserve BYU’s 9-6 lead.

Hall brought home McIntyre in the seventh with a sacrifice fly to put the Cougars up 10-6.

McLaughlin was perfect in relief over 3.2 innings to notch his second save of the season.

Five Cougars had multiple hits, including Hale going 3-for-4 with four RBIs, two home runs and a walk. Cluff went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs while McIntyre had two hits, two RBIs and three runs.

The series between BYU and Saint Mary's continues with game two on Friday at 6 p.m. MDT. The game will air on TheW.tv, BYU Radio and ESPN 960.

Streaking BYU to Battle Saint Mary's

Image

PROVO, Utah - On the heels of a five-game win streak, BYU baseball (18-5, 4-2 WCC) and Saint Mary’s (16-9, 3-0) battle in a West Coast Conference series at Miller Field March 28-30.

BYU vs. Saint Mary's Game Notes

BYU has taken advantage of a homestand that has four-straight weeks, going 14-2 since the home opener on March 5. Besides a win at Utah Valley, the Cougars have played every game at Miller Field, outscoring opponents 102-52 in that span.

The success on the field has put head coach Mike Littlewood three wins away from 200 in his BYU career and four wins from reaching 100 conference victories, currently sitting at 197-148 (.570) overall and 96-69 (.582) in the WCC.

BYU is currently third in the conference standings after winning one and losing two close games against Gonzaga before sweeping Portland last week. The Gaels are first in the conference at 3-0 after sweeping Pacific at home.

The Cougars' current five-game win streak began at UVU last week when lineup changes put sophomore Jackson Cluff from second base to shortstop and freshmen Bryan Call and Austin Deming were inserted at second base and third, respectively. Call has since totaled six hits, six runs and five RBIs with a double and a home run while Deming has added six hits, five runs, two doubles and two RBIs.

The Cougar pitching staff continues to impress, ranking 20th in the nation in team WHIP at 1.19 and ranked 24th in team ERA at 3.12. 

Game one starter Jordan Wood has a 1.63 ERA this year and has not allowed more than one run in his last five starts, all of which have gone six innings or more.

Game two starter Easton Walker leads the nation with a 0.00 ERA in 25.2 innings. In his first start of the year last week, the sophomore carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, allowing one hit and collecting five strikeouts in 6 innings.

Game three starter Justin Sterner is tied for the team lead with four wins and has a 10.13 strikeout per nine innings ratio, leading the team with 33 Ks in 29.1 innings.

Thursday's game will begin at 6 p.m. MT and will air on BYUtv's digital platforms. Friday's game will also start at 6 p.m. MT and will be shown on TheW.tv while Saturday's contest will begin at 1 p.m. MT and will be shown on BYUtv and BYUtv digital platforms.
