LAS -- The BYU women’s softball team concluded play at the Red Desert Classic in Las Vegas by defeating Southern Miss 10-4 before falling 5-0 to UC Davis. The Cougars are now 6-5 on the season.

BYU rebounded off of two losses on Friday to open Saturday with a win against Southern Miss. Paige Affleck received the decision, tossing seven innings, allowing four hits, two earned runs with seven strikeouts.

Junior Andrea Ramirez led the Cougars going 3-for-3 from the plate with a 2-RBI single and a home run.

Affleck stepped into the game with a comfortable 3-0 lead as the sophomore Jessica Purcell blasted a three-run homer in the top of the first inning to put BYU up early.

Ramirez extended the Cougar lead with a leadoff solo homer in the third inning. BYU furthered the lead in the top of the fourth inning when sophomore Kristin Delahoussaye hit an RBI single to left field, while senior Monica Gonzales scored on a bad throw on an attempted sacrifice bunt from freshman Tiffany Messerschmidt. Ramirez record two additional RBI off of a single to right field before a double play and a strikeout ended the top half of the inning.

Down 8-0 Southern Miss recorded its first hit off of Affleck in the bottom of the fourth. A double dropped into right-center field and a single brought around the runner before the Cougars could retire the side.

Looking to enact the eight-run rule, senior Stephanie Hopkins hit a solo shot in the top of the fifth inning to put BYU up 9-1. Yet Southern Miss fought to stay alive by scoring three runs in the fifth inning.

Affleck allowed the first batters to walk. The first scored off of a single and the second runner was unearned, when the team conceded the run on a fielder’s choice. Southern Miss cut the lead down to 9-4 when a runner reached home on a throwing error before BYU ended the inning with a ground out.

The Cougars answered back with a run in the sixth inning when sophomore Caschjen Davis hit an RBI single to left field to score freshman Amber Price.

The defense kept Southern Miss from scoring additional runs to finish the game 10-4 after a full seven innings.

Following the win the Cougars were shutout by UC Davis, 5-0, to finish the Classic.

BYU returns to the field on Thursday when the team travels to the Palm Spring, Calif. for the prestigious Palm Springs Classic. The Cougars will face No. 1 Alabama at 12:30 p.m. Thursday.
