Three Home Runs Leads to Seventh Straight Win

LAS CRUCES -- All-American Oli Keohohou hit a two-run home run in the fifth ining to seal the a 7-1 win for BYU over host New Mexico State, Thursday. The Cougars (16-7) have now won seven straight games and the home run was the eighth on the season for Keohohou.

Trailing 1-0 in the top of the third, junior shortstop Kate Walker hit a solo home run, her first of the season, to left center field to tied the score. Sophomore catcher Lauren Watson singled and was brought home by senior Brooke Cadiente's two-run home runs, her seventh of the season, to take a 3-1 lead.

The Cougars reeled off four runs in the fifth to put the game out of reach. Sophomore MIlli Jones drew a walk and was brought home by Keohohou's towering home run over center field for a 5-1 lead. Walker then singled and Watson drew a walk. Cadiente reached on a fielder's choice that got Walker out at third. Freshman Ashlyn Russell walked to load the bases. Fellow freshman Ianeta Lei reached on a fielder's choice that scored Watson. The Aggies then tried to pick off Cadiente at third base but the throw went to left field and the MWC Player of the Week score the final run for the Cougars.

Senior Cynthia Fallowfield (4-2) started the game and picked up the win in five innings on the mound and gave up only three hits. Freshman Brooke Boyce relieved Fallowfield and gave up one hit in two innings.
