Slim Lead Vanishes at San Diego

SAN DIEGO -- A slim BYU lead vanished in the nine-run fourth as San Diego State’s baseball team ignited Thursday night for an eventual 14-6 victory.

The Aztecs, now 18-32 overall and 8-11 in the Mountain West Conference, took the initial lead on a balk in the second inning.

Then Jaycob Brugman golfed a curve for a two-run, two-out homer in the fourth to give BYU a brief 2-1 lead. Brugman’s homer scored Dane Nielsen who picked up the Cougars’s first hit of the game just prior to the dinger.

They exploded on us and with two outs we just didn’t make a play that would stop the bleeding,” said BYU coach Vance Law. “It was one of those games that boils down to the one inning that we needed to minimize. I was proud of the way we battled back. “

Brugman drove in the first of BYU’s two runs in the fifth to close the deficit to 10-4.

BYU, now 25-23 and 7-10, plays game two of the series on Friday night in San Diego.
