PROVO -- San Diego State pitcher Alex Hinshaw threw a complete game handing BYU its first home loss 10-4, Thursday night at Larry H. Miller Field in front of a season-high crowd of 2,015.

The Cougars, now 24-9-1 (10-3, Mountain West Conference), managed only six hits and scored no runs in the final six innings. Hinshaw struck out 12 BYU batters, keeping the Cougars' off balance all night. BYU head coach Vance Law said his hitters helped Hinshaw out.

"[After the first three innings] he came out and continued to battle," Law said. "We swung at some pitches out of the strike zone."

The Aztecs (10-22, 5-5 MWC) scored first, getting one run in the first with two singles with two out in the inning. The run came on Brock Ungricht's RBI single. The Cougars came back with a run of their own in the second inning with two outs. Marcos Villezcas doubled and scored on two SDSU errors.

BYU grabbed the lead in the second, manufacturing two runs after Kory Knell and Ben Saylor led off the inning with back-to-back hits. Knell scored on Adrian Molina's ground out and Saylor was plated on a sacrifice fly by Villezcas. The second proved to be the only inning that the Cougars managed to score multiple runs.

In the third frame, Knell led the inning off with a walk and later came home on a sacrifice fly by Casey Nelson. After that, no BYU player managed to reach second base as Hinshaw 19 of the next 20 batters he faced to finish the game.

SDSU freshman left fielder Joseph Scaperotta led the Aztecs' bats, going 2-for-5 with two home runs--the first two of his collegiate career--and three RBI.

Game two of the three game series is Friday at 7 p.m. (MDT). The Cougars will send Brandon Christiansen to the mound to try and end its two-game MWC losing streak. Friday's game will be broadcast on BYUTV and KBYU-TV channel 11 live and on KOVO radio 960 AM.
