ALBUQUERQUE -- After winning the first game of a doubleheader against New Mexico, 4-1, the BYU softball team lost the second game 4-3, Saturday afternoon.

In game one, the Lobos (28-15-1, 1-2-1) put their only run of the game on the board when Krissy Keene doubled in Marianna Fenelli. BYU (20-16, 2-1) trailed 1-0 but finally got the bats going in the fourth inning. Freshman Oli Keohohou singled in Liz Smith, who had reached on an error, and then scored herself on a RBI-single by Elizabeth Pierce-Boydston to put the Cougars up 2-1. Keohohou and Pierce-Boydston did the damage again for BYU in the sixth inning, each hitting solo home runs to right field, putting the Cougars up for good, 4-1. Maryon DeWitt-Wallentine (11-10) pitched another complete game, giving up one run on seven hits while striking out seven.

In game two, New Mexico went up 1-0 in the bottom of the second when Tiffani Chambers doubled in Kelly Glass. BYU came right back and tied the game in the top of the third as Lindsey Hodgen-Kelly scored from second when Smith singled up the middle. The Lobos scored a run on in the third on a RBI-single by Brooke Chaffee and added another in the bottom of the fifth on a bases-loaded walk. The Cougars tied the game at 3-3 in the top of the sixth when junior Kari Pringle doubled in two runs. New Mexico took the lead for good in the bottom of the sixth on a Keene solo home run. DeWitt-Wallentine was credited with the loss, pitching in relief, giving up two runs on one hit.
