Doubleheader Sweep Over AFA
COLORADO SPRINGS -- Strong pitching performances by Jeff Mousser and Ryan Adams led BYU to a pair of victories over Air Force 4-2 and 9-5 Friday afternoon.
Mousser threw only 74 pitches over seven complete innings in the first game to pick up his fourth victory of the season.
In the second game, Adams improved his record to 2-3 after pitching seven strong innings allowing only one earned run.
The Cougars relied on late rallies in both games to pull out the victories.
Matt Carson scored the first BYU run in game one after Rob Itri singled to right field. Itri was one of four defensive changes by BYU Coach Vance Law who juggled his lineup. Itri moved from second to third, Cameron Couglan went from left field to second, Ryan Chambers started in center field and Doug Jackson switched from center to left to start the AFA series.
BYU added three more runs in the sixth when Itri's sacrifice fly scored Carson, Jake Stubblefield's double brought Dave Jensen home and Lars Birkeland's single up the middle knocked in Chambers.
In the nightcap Jensen's four hits and three RBI combined with Carson's three hits proved too much for the Falcons.
Air Force jumped on the Cougars in the first inning scoring four unearned runs, but Adams and the BYU defense settled in holding the Falcons to only one run over the final eight innings.
BYU waited until the sixth inning to make the game close. A combination of timely hits by Jensen, Itri and Stubblefield and poor defense by the Falcons allowed the Cougars to make the score 4-3.
The Cougar scoring barrage continued over the final three innings as BYU never looked back scoring one run in the seventh, two in the eighth and three in the ninth.
BYU improved its record to 11-14-1, 5-2 in the Mountain West Conference, and Air Force fell to 14-16, 2-6 in the league.
The Cougars and Falcons meet again Saturday at 1 p.m. for the final game of a three-game series.
