Cougars Split Day One

ST. GEORGE -- Inconsistent pitching and untimely errors caused BYU to split its games losing to Cal State Bakersfield 10-12, and beating Loyola Marymount 11-0 in five innings.

“Our pitching in the first game was very inconsistent which cost us the game,” said BYU head coach Gordon Eakin. "Consistency is something we have been working as a team, but especially from the circle. We need to constantly think about playing and becoming more regular in our consistency if we are to maintain a winning season and mentality.”

The Cougars got off to a slow start in their first game, and Cal State took advantage by scoring 10 runs in the first two innings.

In the top of the third BYU started to bounce back with a five-run scoring drive. This drive consisted of two hits, a single from Angie Quiocho and a three-run homer from Amanda Kellum, two walked players and one Roadrunner error.

During BYU’s next at-bat in the fourth, Tiffany Messerschmidt started the inning with a single into left field followed by Clayton who sent a lined single between the shortstop and third baseman which advanced Messerschmidt to second.

Messerschmidt eventually scored after Andrea Ramirez reached first on a dropped fly from the Cal State center fielder.

The Cougars scored one run in each of the last three innings. Caschjen Atagi hit a one-run homer in the fifth, Jessica Fitu singled to right-center field to pick up an RBI in the sixth and freshman shortstop Clayton hit a one-run double to center field to tie the game.

In the bottom of the seventh, Cal State's Danielle Lyman hit a walk-off two-run home run.

During their second game against Loyola Marymount, the Cougars run-ruled the Lions in five innings with a score of 11-0.

BYU was quick to score in the first and second innings with one run in each.

Nine out of the Cougars’ 11 runs however came in the bottom of the third. This massive scoring drive consisted of two singles, three doubles, one error and a three-run homer from Quiocho.

Quiocho and Ramirez both got on base each at-bat through either a hit or by being walked.

Quiocho was walked twice, had three runs scored, had three RBI and one hit. Ramirez had two hits including a double, one RBI and was walked once.

Other RBI contributing Cougars include Jessica Dugas, Kellum and Clayton with one, and Atagi and Delaney Willard with two each.

“The most important thing we, as a team took away from these games is that we don’t panic and we don’t give up,” Eakin said. “In these trying times we unite as a team and fight back. We won’t let one loss get to us and we will look towards brighter days to come.”

BYU returns to Canyon Complex for another as it faces Idaho State and Loyola Marymount at noon and 2:30 p.m. (MST), respectively.
