San Jose State Wins 2-1 In 10 Innings

SAN JOSE -- In BYU's first extra inning game of the season, San Jose State won 2-1 in 10 innings on Friday.

For the second night in a row, David Pierson played a major role in scoring the winning run. Pierson scored the winning run on Thursday, and on Friday he doubled in the winning run that gave the Spartans (5-3-1) their second win in a row over BYU 2-1).

After a 38-minute delay in the start time due to rain earlier in the day, San Jose State took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Dave Jolliff hit a triple and then scored on a single to left field by Pierson.

Brandon Taylor crossed the plate to tie the game in the seventh inning. After doubling, Taylor scored on a sacrifice fly from Tim Law.

The Cougars had the go ahead run on second with no outs in the ninth after Adam Wilkes reached on a dropped ball by the right fielder. Spartan reliever Brad Kilby then struck out the side to end the threat.

For the first time this season, Ranger Wiens played defense for the Cougars. Wiens, a shortstop for BYU the past two years, began the season in the designated hitter role due to an injury. After pinch-hitting in the seventh inning, Wiens took over at third base for the first time in his BYU career.

Paul Jacinto (0-4) started the game for the Cougars and made it into the seventh inning but received a no decision in his best start of the year. Freshman Joshua Barrett (0-1) took his first loss after entering the game in the 10th.

BYU and San Jose State play the final of the three-game series on Saturday at noon (PST). The game is not available for live stats or webcasts, but check www.byucougars.com for immediate updates following the game.
