Lefties Lead Teams to Doubleheader Split at Southern Utah

CEDAR CITY -- Lefties Zach Bernard and Jeff Stone each led their teams to victory in a doubleheader split Friday as host Southern Utah beat BYU 5-1 and lost to the Cougars 13-3.

Bernard, a Salt Lake City senior who is now 4-0, threw a three-hit complete game in the home debut and got Thunderbird support with two run homers by Todd Mitchell in the second inning and Amos Bright in the third. It was Bright's fourth homer of the season.

BYU's lone run came in the fifth inning when Kainoa Obrey scored on David Rock's groundout. The Cougars stranded Michael Davies in the seventh at third after he hit a one-out double. BYU starter Micah Mangrum, now 3-2, took the loss.

Stone, a Taylorsville sophomore who is also 3-2, won the nine-inning nightcap for the Cougars in striking out six T-Birds. BYU's Aaron Whitley and Davies combined for seven of the Cougars' 19 hits. Whitley was 3 for-6 with two triples, a lead-off home run in the third, three RBI and scored four runs while Davies was 4-for-5 with a double, a seventh inning solo home run and four RBI.

Trailing 5-1 in the bottom of the fourth, SUU staged a two-run rally thanks to a two-run homer by Mitchell--his second of the day-- to cut BYU's lead to 5-3.

Tyler Perry belted a two-run homer in the seventh and BYU teammate Seth King hit a lead-off homer in the ninth.

The tilt marked the return of Cougar Nick Day to the lineup after missing the past six games due to a wrist injury. Day had three singles for the afternoon.

SUU, now 5-5, hosts BYU, now 8-9, in a noon doubleheader on Saturday.
