Record Slams Beat Utes, 25-18

SAN -- One run shy in the Conoco Mountain West Conference Baseball Tournament, BYU basked Thursday in the euphoria of eliminating Utah, 25-18, and agonized over a 7-6 loss to New Mexico.

For the ninth time in NCAA history BYU tied an NCAA record of three grand slams in one game as the Cougars defeated the Utes before being eliminated from the tourney by the Lobos.

“We ran out of steam in the second game,” said BYU coach Vance Law. “At first I thought it was going to be a blowout over Utah and we were trying to save some pitching. I never feel comfortable until the last out in a ball game.”

After almost six hours of play in a doubleheader in a day that started before the morning commute, BYU’s players did what Law asked and gave everything they had on the field.

There were good BYU starts to both games, taking a 14-0 lead over Utah and being ahead 6-0 over UNM.

The Cougars jumped out early over Utah, loading the bases in the first inning with a one-run lead before Sean McNaughton hit the first of his two grand slam home runs in the game. The BYU score soared to 7-0 as Ute pitcher Andrew Wilding left the game in favor of Stephen Streich—all in the first inning.

BYU loaded the bases again in the second, but was unable to score. Juiced bases again in the third set the table for Austin Hall’s grand slam as the Cougars took a 14-0 lead.

“I was just trying to hit the ball to the outfield for a sacrifice fly,” said Hall.

The Utes rallied for eight runs in the fifth inning, closing the gap to 14-8, and forcing starter Shawn Hardesty from the mound in favor of eventual winning pitcher Chunner Nyberg.

McNaughton then hit his second slam of the day in the fifth inning to put BYU up 19-8.

“They were both fastballs,” said McNaughton of his an MWC Tourney record-tying home-run slams.

The three grand slams by McNaughton and Hall were not the only record performances in the BYU-Ute tilt.

--NCAA record of three grand slams in one game ties eight other teams

--23 BYU RBI in the game, new MWC Tourney record

--two teams combined MWC Tourney record with 43 runs

--McNaughton tied MWC Tourney record with eight RBI

The Utes battled back time after time as BYU went through five pitchers. Utah’s MWC Player of the Year, C.J. Cron, knocked a three-run homer with one out in the ninth in a last gasp effort.

BYU then earned the right to play New Mexico just over an hour later for the second game of the loser-bracket doubleheader.

Dane Nielsen hit an 0-1 pitch with one out for a two-run homer which put the Cougars up 3-0 in the second inning. Hall got his second homer of the day with a two-run blast in the fifth to give BYU a 6-0 lead.

New Mexico had only one hit through the first three innings before finally getting to Cougar lefty Chris Howard in the two-run fifth. Then Justin Howard parked a three-run blast just clearing the deepest part of the centerfield wall on an 0-1 offering from newly-arrived Kevin Sloan on the mound to knot the game 6-6 in the sixth.

The Lobos scored the eventual winning run in the seventh when Ryan Honeycutt led off with a single and scored off Max Willets’ leftfield single to put them up 7-6.

“Lachapelle (Mike) handcuffed us and did a good job mixing his pitches,” said Law of the Lobo reliever and winning pitcher who entered the game in the second inning, behind 3-0.

“I’m really glad to have finished it off well and have no regrets at the end of the day,” said McNaughton who was four-for-eight with eight RBI in the two games combined. “I did a good job helping my team.”

The Cougars end the season with a 27-31 record. The 25-18 victory over Utah was the highest in the series since BYU beat the Utes 26-14 in 1997.
