Big Innings Lead to Two Wins

SAN DIEGO -- The BYU softball team came out strong in its first two games of the day at the University of San Diego Tournament Friday, beating Northern Iowa 7-1 and Portland State 7-2, before being shut out by Boston College 2-0 in the last game of the day.

Playing the earliest game of the day, BYU scored often and early en route to the 7-1 victory. The Cougars put three runs on the board in the first inning with RBI's from Elizabeth Pierce-Boydston, Brooke Cadiente and Mindy Hanson. In the second inning, Angie Christiansen tripled and scored on an error by the left fielder while Liz Smith scored the other run. The Cougars scored one run in the third and another in the sixth to secure the win. Maryon DeWitt-Wallentine gave up six hits while striking out nine en route to getting the complete game win.

Trailing Portland State 2-1 going into the seventh inning, BYU batted around and scored six runs for the come-from-behind win. The inning was highlighted by a two-run triple from freshman Oli Keohohou and a run-scoring triple by Cadiente. Meghann Pricer went the distance for the Cougars, giving up four hits while striking out seven. The Vikings scored both runs in the third inning, but managed only one hit the remainder of the game.

"The Portland State game was a great win for us," BYU coach Mary Kay Amicone said. "Being behind going into the seventh is a situation we need to learn to come through on and we did a good job of hanging in there and getting the win."

In the final game of the day, BYU's offense never got on track in the rain-shortened six-inning game. Cadiente was the only Cougar to get a hit, a single in the sixth inning. The Eagles scattered 10 hits in the win.

The San Diego tournament continues through Saturday with BYU playing Tulsa at 9:30 a.m and San Diego at 2:30 p.m. (PST).
