Zavodnik’s home run marks her 19th on the season for a new single-season career high. With the bases loaded, Mallory Barber singled to left field, sending Huntyr Ava home to give BYU its third run. Peterson hit her second triple of the season as BYU extended its lead 6-0.

In the bottom of the third, Taylei Williams doubled to left center to bring home Alexis Gilio, followed by an RBI single by Zavodnik, bringing home Epenesa to expand BYU’s lead. An Ava single to right center brought Williams home to make the score 10-0. 

The Cougars started the bottom of the fourth inning with a hit by Epenesa that brought Brooke Barrington home on an unearned run. Barrington’s run was followed by an RBI triple by Zavodnik to bring the score to 15-0 and end the first game of the double header.
