Back on Track

SAN -- The BYU softball team won its first game of the weekend, shutting down Cal Poly 5-0 at the Campbell/Cartier Classic on Saturday.

The win broke a four-game skid for the Cougars, who faced three ranked opponents at the Classic, bringing their record to 8-12 on the year.

Senior Jessica Fitu was 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs. Senior Caschjen Atagi was the other Cougar with at least two hits, adding one run and an RBI.

The first four batters of the game for the Cougars reach base, highlighted by a two-run double by senior Jessica Fitu. Freshman Katie Manuma's single a few batters later scored Fitu, giving BYU a quick 3-0 lead.

Senior pitcher Paige Affleck pitched her first complete game shutout of the year, keeping Cal Poly to no more than four batters any one inning. Affleck struck out five while allowing four hits and one walk.

Atagi launched her third home run of the season and her second in as many days to add another score in the fourth. Fitu tacked on BYU's last run scoring on a wild pitch in the seventh inning.

BYU will next participate in the two-day Mayfair Tournament, Mar. 11-12, in Lakewood, Calif., with games slated against Sacramento State, Long Beach State, No. 6 UCLA and Cal State Fullerton.
