TEMPE -- No. 16 BYU (1-3) dropped its second straight, extra-inning game, 5-3, to Portland State before rallying back from five runs down to defeat Ole Miss, 9-5, on Friday at the Kajikawa Classic.

BYU senior catcher Jessica Fitu hit two home runs, including a solo shot and a two-run homer in extra innings, but BYU gave up three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning for its third-straight loss to start the season.

Tied 1-1 through seven innings, Fitu sent her second home run over the left field fence, scoring two runs, including junior Jessica Dugas who was on base due to international tiebreaker rules.

Fitu also hit a solo shot in the second inning for her first home run of the season.

Senior Paige Affleck no-hit the Vikings through seven innings, picking up five strikeouts while giving up no earned runs. But late in the eighth, Affleck walked and then advanced the runner on a wild pitch. The Vikings then hit three straight singles to bring in Meghann Lyons, on base due to the tiebreaker rules. With the bases loaded, Lacey Holm was hit by a pitch to bring in the game-tying run. Karmen Holladay finished the game, hitting a 1-0 pitch to the outfield to earn the winning RBI.

Sophomore Alexandra Hudson had two hits and freshman Katie Manuma added a single for BYU.

Game 2

Losing their first three games and falling behind Ole Miss by a 5-0 margin in the third inning, the Cougars showed heart, scored nine runs over the next three innings to claim their first victory of the young season.

Four BYU freshman led the way in lighting the fire under the Cougars. Carly Duckworth came on in the third inning to silence the Ole Miss hitters while Manuma, Lacey Millett and Madisen Robb hit well at the plate, accounting for five of the Cougars' nine runs.

Manuma hit 2-for-3 with two runs while Robb went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI and Millett added one hit, one run and one RBI in her first career start.

Duckworth, who had previously only seen spot time as a pinch runner in two of BYU's earlier games, entered the circle as the third Cougar pitcher of the game late in the third inning. After helping get BYU out of the inning, Duckworth retired the side in the fourth, allowing the Cougars to get back in the game.

BYU cut the lead to 5-2 in the bottom of the third when Hudson scored off an RBI-single from Millett. Senior Kristin Delahoussaye followed the freshman, sending the freshman home on a deep double to right centerfield.

"Lacey put the ball in play and let her speed do the rest," said BYU head coach Gordon Eakin. "She came up in clutch situations for us. I put Lacey in because I am looking for people who want to step up and play the game."

With Duckworth calming the Ole Miss bats in the fourth, the bottom of the order came alive. A walk by Manuma and back-to-back singles from Robb and Hudson loaded the bases. The Cougars slowly chipped away from there, with Manuma scoring on a fielder's choice off a Stacie Graham at bat, then scoring another when Hudson came home after an illegal pitch.

"Everyone battled hard," Eakin said. "We got a couple breaks and made a couple of our own breaks and from then on we had the momentum."

BYU rounded out the scoring when Graham reached home after a fielding error by the Rebel third baseman.

Affleck entered as the fourth pitcher of the game for BYU, holding the Rebels scoreless over the final three innings. The Cougars played four pitchers in a game for the first time in school history.

A lead-off double by Fitu and singles from Manuma, junior Delaney Willard, Robb and sophomore JC Clayton put three insurance runs on the board in the bottom of the fifth to round out the scoring. Clayton returned to the line-up for both games on Friday after taking a cleat in the shin from an Oregon player on Thursday that required four stitches.

BYU will finish up at the Kajikawa Classic on Saturday at 9 a.m. MT, facing No. 21 Texas A&M.
