PROVO, Utah – A seven-run second inning by Kansas proved too much for the BYU baseball team as the Cougars fell 15-4 Thursday at Larry H. Miller Field.
Down 11-0 after the first four innings, the Cougars (10-12) didn’t throw in the towel and continued to battle.
The Jayhawks (14-7) recorded 17 hits to BYU’s eight.
The Cougars dealt with unfortunate bounces during the night, for example a ball hitting Jacob Hannemann for an out in the first inning as he was running between first and second base.
Kansas went up a quick 2-0 in the first inning after back-to-back doubles.
The Cougars dug a hole for themselves in the second as three errors led to seven runs for the Jayhawks. Down 9-0 in the bottom of the second, BYU didn’t have an answer as Kansas retired the Cougars in order.
"You can look at the second inning and it was a perfect storm," BYU head baseball coach Mike Littlewood said. "It was a fiasco in the middle infield tonight, so we set them down to watch. I have no real answers tonight other than we don't want that again."
A long double to right field by the Jayhawks in the fourth brought a runner home. With a runner on second and two outs, BYU’s fifth error of the game enabled Kansas to pad its lead, 11-0.
The Cougars scored their first run of the night in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI groundout from Kelton Caldwell. Jaycob Brugman got on base with a drive up centerfield and moved into scoring position after Kansas walked Brock Whitney. A wild pitch moved both runners up before Brugman reached home that frame.
BYU cut into Kansas’ lead scoring three runs in the bottom of the fifth. Bret Lopez ripped a lead-off double to give the Cougars a spark as Nate Favero hit an RBI single up the middle to send Lopez home. Hannemann continued the momentum with a double, his second hit of the night, followed by an RBI single from Trace Hansen. With runners on the corners, a sac fly by Brugman to left plated Hannemann and brought the score to 11-4.
Following their three-run fifth inning, reliever Chunner Nyberg retired Kansas in order in the next three innings, with Caldwell making a impressive diving catch in left field to end the eighth inning.
"It's all about making adjustments and we did not do that tonight," Littlewood said. "If there's a silver lining, it's that Chunner got a work out tonight."
Kansas added four more runs in the ninth to push the final margin to 15-4. Kansas tied the series at one-all, while BYU's home record at Miller Park is now 2-2.
The third tilt of the four-game series with Kansas was moved up to 3 p.m. MDT, on Friday at Larry H. Miller Field and will be broadcast live on both BYUtv and KOVO Radio 960 AM.
Friday's game time changed to 3 p.m.
With Kansas coming to play a four-game series at Miller Park, BYU’s baseball team knows “there’s no place like home.”
The Cougars (9-11) have a 2-1 mark at Larry H. Miller Field and play Kansas (13-6) starting Wednesday and Thursday at 6 p.m. Game time for Friday has been moved from 6 p.m., to 3 p.m., because of weather. Saturday’s game remains at 1 p.m.
“We are looking forward to finally being back on our own field,” BYU coach Mike Littlewood said. “Kansas is having a great year, so we know they will be a challenge.”
Wednesday’s starting pitcher for BYU is Desmond Poulson (2-0, 2.29), followed by Adam Miller (1-4, 4.45) on Thursday evening. The Cougar starter in Friday’s modified starting time is Jeff Barker (2-2, 4.33). The BYU starter for Saturday’s game is yet to be named.
BYU is the nation’s No. 1 team in turning double plays, but the Cougars have struggled in other areas as they got off to an 0-3 start on the road in the West Coast Conference. BYU had a 2-1 record in games earlier this year at Miller Park against No. 21 UC Irvine.
Kansas has a 2-1 record in the Big 12 Conference.
BYUtv and KOVO Radio 960 AM are scheduled to broadcast the last three tilts of the four-game series between BYU and Kansas.
