Offensive Leads to More Wins

SAN DIEGO -- The BYU softball team won two more games Saturday at the University of San Diego Tournament, beating Tulsa 9-0 in six innings and San Diego 13-3 in eight innings.

Pitcher Maryon DeWitt-Wallentine threw a one-hitter but had plenty of offensive support to get the win. The Cougars got on the board early with a run in the first inning on a RBI-single from Elizabeth Pierce-Boydston and scored eight more runs the final three innings en route to the 9-0 shutout. In the fifth inning, Tracy Farley doubled in two runs to put BYU up 5-0. In the sixth inning, Oli Keohohou provided the offense, hitting a three-run bomb to left field to put the game out of reach.

In the second game of the day, tournament host San Diego jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first inning with Jennifer Delpit hitting a three-run double. The Toreros would not score any more runs off pitcher Meghann Pricer, as she gave up only five hits the entire game and only three after the first inning. BYU chipped away at the lead, scoring one run in the third inning on a solo home run by Keohohou. The Cougars tied the game in the fifth, scoring two runs on RBI singles from Pierce-Boydston and senior Mindy Hanson. BYU exploded for 10 runs in the eighth inning to put the game away. Cynthia Polk had a two-run double, Brooke Cadiente had a two-RBI triple and Keohohou had two RBI on a single to drive in six of the ten runs.

BYU's record moves to 11-13 on the year. The Cougars will next play four games in the Sacramento State Capital Classic Friday and Saturday in Sacramento, Calif.
