Hot hitting gets BYU 16-1 win over CSI
PROVO, Utah – Home runs from Ashley Thompson and Alexa Strid led BYU softball to a 16-1 win over the College of Southern Idaho on Friday night.
“We played well in all three areas of the game,” BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. “We had an opportunity to gain valuable experience that will help them in the future.”
Thompson got the offense going in the first inning, hitting a three-run home run in her first at-bat. In the fifth inning, Strid hit another three-run home run to extend the Cougar lead. Caitlyn Larsen also had a good outing at the plate, going 3 for 4.
