Gail Miller Field Provo UT 84601
PROVO, Utah – Fueled by 11 strikeouts from McKenna Bull, BYU softball topped Utah State 4-1 in its first head-to-head match up of the season on Wednesday at Gail Miller Field.
"It was a good team win tonight," BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. "McKenna pitched very well and we played nice team defense. We knew where to be and when to be there, and we got hits when we needed them."
Pitching a full game, Bull finished the game giving up just four hits and walking one batter. Bull’s double-digit strikeout performance is her sixth of the season and the 11th of her career. She is now 17-10 on the year.
BYU (23-17, 1-2 West Coast Conference) tallied eight hits to Utah State’s (19-16, 5-4 Mountain West Conference) four. Ashley Thompson went 2 for 2 from the plate, scoring one run. McKenzie St. Clair batted .667, going 2 for 3 in the game. St. Clair also had a solo home-run in the third.
Bull closed out the top of the first inning retiring three straight batters, striking out the third batter to keep the score at zero-all.
Utah State moved runners into scoring position in the top of the second after a ball was thrown past first base. The Cougars were able to get out of the inning without letting any runs cross the plate, as Bull struck out Victoria Saucedo and Bailey Lewis popped out to finish the inning.
In the bottom of the third, St. Clair put the Cougars up 1-0 with a home run, her sixth of the year. BYU proceeded to drive two singles up the left side. Alleyah Armediariz then walked Libby Sugg, loading the bases. Despite the bases being loaded, the Cougars just scored the one run. BYU tallied three hits in the third.
Noelle Johnson opened the fourth inning for the Aggies with a single for Utah State’s first hit of the game. BYU was able to then retire three-straight batters backed by two strikeouts from Bull.
With one out in the bottom of the fourth, Gordy Bravo hit a pop fly to deep left to tally a sacrifice RBI, bringing in Caitlyn Larsen. With the run, the Cougars took the 2-0 lead.
Madison Merrell delivered a line drive to left field for the RBI double, scoring Thompson to go up 3-0. Emilee Erickson then doubled to right to score Merrell from second to take the 4-0 lead over the Aggies in the fifth.
Utah State tallied its first run of the game in the top of the sixth inning to make the score 4-1. Armendiariz grounded out to first, scoring Sarah Chow from third.
With the win over the Aggies, BYU is 35-2 all-time against Utah State. The Cougars hold a 18-1 record against the Aggies at home.
BYU travels across town to take on Utah Valley on Wednesday, April 20, at 3 p.m. MDT. The game will be broadcast on BYU Radio – Sirius XM 143. Links to live stats and radio coverage can be found on the BYU softball schedule page.
PROVO, Utah – Looking to bounce back after dropping its first conference series, BYU softball will host Utah State on Wednesday for the fifth in-state game played this season.
BYU (22-17, 1-2 West Coast Conference) struggled last week, going 2-3 in five games played at home. The Cougars split a doubleheader with Southern Utah and hosted Loyola Marymount for the first WCC series. The Lions took the series 2-1 in Provo.
Utah State (19-15, 5-4 Mountain West Conference) is fresh off of a three-game series against San Jose State in Logan, Utah. The Aggies were riding a five-game win streak until a loss against the Spartans, falling 1-2 in the series.
BYU has played three teams from Utah so far this season: Utah, Utah Valley and Southern Utah (doubleheader). The Cougars are 3-1 in those games, run ruling two and losing one in extra innings.
The game will begin at 6 p.m. MDT at Gail Miller Field on Wednesday. It will be televised live on BYUtv and streamed on BYU Radio – Sirius XM 143. Live stats will also be available on the BYU schedule page.
