UVSC Tops BYU, 7-4

Image

OREM -- Utah Valley State grabbed its first ever win over BYU, 7-4, Monday night on a cold and rainy day at Parkway Crossing Stadium.

The Cougars (26-10-1, 12-3 Mountain West Conference) played without normal starters and offensive stars Jeff Hiestand, Sean McNaughton and Kory Knell. McNaughton is sidelined for two to three weeks with a broken thumb.

The Wolverines improved to 12-29 with the victory. A steady rain started early and persisted throughout the game.

UVSC started the scoring early, getting two runs in its side of the first inning. Kory Drew doubled and scored when he was followed by a Nick Connor RBI single. Connor was driven in on a double play later in the inning. The Wolverines extended their lead to 4-0 in the fourth frame when Eli Slesk and Dan Bulow notched back-to-back singles to lead off the inning and later came around to score.

BYU scored its initial run in the fifth inning. Bryce Ayoso ripped a two-out double into the left-center ally and scored two batters later on Adrian Molina's RBI single. UVSC responded in its side of the fifth when Connor scored his second run of the game on a RBI groundout to extend the Wolverines' lead to 5-1.

The Cougars added another run in the eighth inning to cut the deficit to 5-2. Freshman Kevin Sloan scored after he struck out but reached base on a wild pitch. Sloan scored from third on a Marcos Villezcas sacrifice fly. On the same play Molina was caught trying to make it from first to second on the fly out. UVSC pitcher Kyle Tash got Ben Saylor to ground out to end the two-on, two-out threat.

The Wolverines again bounced back with two insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth plated by a Drew two-out, two-run single.

BYU looked as if it might come from behind yet again to take another victory in the ninth as the Cougars strung together five hits and scored two runs. The game ended on a bases-loaded, RBI single by Apana Nakayama and a base-running mishap in which Molina got tagged out at the plate.

BYU will return to conference play on Thursday, when it travels to Salt Lake City to take on rival Utah on Thursday at 6 p.m. (MDT) at Franklin Covey Field. All three games will be carried on KOVO radio 960 AM.
