SAN -- The BYU softball team kept both games close, but early deficits led to a 7-3 loss to No. 23/25 Fresno State and a 5-2 defeat against No. 6 UCLA on Friday at the Campbell/Cartier Classic.

Against Fresno State, BYU feel behind by seven runs before senior second baseman Kristin Delahoussaye ripped a single to right center, scoring junior Tiffany Messerschmidt and sophomore JC Clayton for BYU's first runs of the day in the fifth inning.

The following inning, senior third baseman Caschjen Atagi led off with her second home run of the season, a solo shot that brought the Cougars to within four runs. Freshman Lacey Millett singled and Clayton walked later in the inning hoping to further cut into Fresno State's lead, but after a Bulldog pitching change Clayton struck out to end the inning.

Fresno State took control with a six-run fourth inning on four hits against starting pitcher Tori Almond and pitcher Hannah Howell.

Game 2

UCLA scored four runs in the top of the first inning and an additional run in the second before the Cougars could get on the board.

Mistakes by the Bruin pitcher helped Messerschmidt advance to third before a double by senior Jessica Fitu brought in BYU's first run.

After UCLA's early initial runs, BYU pitchers Paige Affleck, Howell and Almond held the Bruins scoreless, giving up four hits over the final five innings.

BYU (7-12) scored its final run in the seventh after loading the bases with two outs. A Clayton single brought in one run, but with the bases loaded once again, Fitu's ground ball led to the third and final out of the game.

Delahoussaye went 2-for-2 with two walks while Clayton went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base.
