Sterner's Strong Outing Sweeps Tigers

STOCKTON, Calif. - Led by another strong outing from Justin Sterner, BYU baseball swept Pacific 5-0 on Saturday at Klein Family Field.

“I’m really proud of our guys for staying focused today,” BYU head coach Mike Littlewood said. “Justin gave us another great start and our hitters did a great job against one of the better pitchers in the conference.”

BYU vs. Pacific Box Score

Game Summary

  • Justin Sterner pitched 6.1 scoreless innings, extending his streak to 14.0 innings without a run allowed
  • BYU scored a run in the second and one in the sixth before tacking on three in the eighth
  • The shutout is BYU's fourth of the year

Player Highlights

  • Mitch McIntyre: 2-4, HR, R, RBI
  • Danny Gelalich: 2-3, 2B, R 
  • Justin Sterner: W (8-3), 6.1 IP, 0 ER, 5 K

A hit off the foul pole in right field resulted in a home run for Mitch McIntyre and the Cougars' opening run of the game in the second inning. BYU (29-10, 13-5) managed another run in the sixth when Danny Gelalich hit a bunt single then advanced around the bases, finally scoring on a Tiger error.

Sterner pitched his second-straight game of scoreless baseball, going just over six innings and striking out five. His efforts come one week after he went 7.1 innings without allowing a run at Washington and improve his record to 8-3 on the year, the most wins of any pitcher in the WCC.

Freshman Reid McLaughlin entered the game for the Cougars in the bottom of the seventh with two on and one out, forcing a groundout on his second pitch that lead to a force out at second base and the third out when the runner from first was called for interference.

The Cougars extended their lead in the following inning, with Gelalich hitting a double then scoring on a Brian Hsu single. Brock Hale and Jackson Cluff each walked to load the bases and Austin Deming followed with a two-RBI single.

Blake Inouye came on in the ninth with two on and one out, getting a strikeout and groundout from Pacific to end the game.

BYU will stay in the state to play the Cal Golden Bears on Monday, April 29, at 3 p.m. PT. The game will be televised on the Pac-12 Network and will air on BYU Radio and ESPN 960.

    Cougars to Play Three at Pacific

    Image

    PROVO, Utah - BYU (26-10, 10-5) baseball continues West Coast Conference action this week with three games at Pacific (21-19, 8-10).

    BYU vs. Pacific Game Notes

    The Cougars are coming off a series win at Washington, winning two of three in Seattle. BYU allowed just two earned runs all weekend as the team won its seventh series in nine tries this year.

    BYU's pitching staff continues to be one of the strongest in the country, boasting a 3.47 ERA, .240 opposing batting average, 2.97 walks allowed per game and 7.39 strikeouts per game. If the season ended today, all four marks would be the best in program history since 1969.

    Senior Jordan Wood (4-1, 4.10), sophomore Easton Walker (5-0, 0.89) and sophomore Justin Sterner (7-3, 2.58) will again make up the rotation for BYU. 

    At the plate, sophomore Jackson Cluff is among the nation's leaders averaging 1.14 RBIs per game and 1.08 runs per game. Senior Brian Hsu leads the Cougars with a .366 average while senior Brock Hale has a team-high seven home runs with a .476 on-base percentage.

    The Cougars are 10-5 in the WCC, tied by win percentage for first with Gonzaga, LMU and San Francisco, all at 12-6. The top four teams in the conference qualify to play in the WCC Tournament the last weekend in May. Pacific is in eighth at 8-10.

    The Thursday and Friday games will start at 6 p.m. PT with the Saturday game at 1 p.m. PT. All three games will be streamed live on TheW.tv and will air on BYU Radio and ESPN 960.
