NATCHITOCHES -- With two out and bases loaded Friday, BYU gambled to clear the bases and tie the score in the ninth but ended up losing 8-7 to Northwestern State.

BYU senior Dane Nielsen hit a two-out double to left field, scoring Alex Wolfe and Dillon Robinson, but pinch runner Alex Hancock was thrown out at the plate, 7-6-2.

Not a bad comeback in the season opener for the Cougars, 0-1, who got off to a rocky start and were behind 6-0 through five innings.

In the fifth inning BYU scored its first run when Andrew Law hit a one-out single up the middle and crossed home on the next play when Wolfe doubled to right field. Wolfe’s double extended his current hitting streak to 13 games along with Austin Hall, who singled in the second inning.

From the 3-1 offering of a new Demon pitcher, Stephen Wells hit a leadoff homer. Law got another one-out single, this time to center field, then stole second and scored on an error which put Ryan Bernal on base, to make the score 7-3. Bernal later scored off Bret Lopez’s pinch-hit double.

Behind 8-4, Law led off the ninth with his third single of the night, advanced to second on Wolfe’s single, stole third and scored on Robinson’s one-out pinch-hit single to center.

The two teams meet again Saturday in an afternoon doubleheader.
