Aggies Strike Out Baker's Dozen

Image

COLLEGE STATION -- Major league prospect John Stilson stifled BYU’s comeback Wednesday as Texas A & M beat BYU, 5-3.

The Cougars, now 3-5, picked up their third run in the seventh as Dane Nielsen scored with the bases loaded when Alex Wolfe grounded out. With two out, Jonathan Cluff worked a base on balls against the touted flame-thowing sophomore reliever who fanned BYU’s attempt with the bases loaded again.

“He (Stilson) has a major league arm with a good breaking ball,” said BYU coach Vance Law of the righthander who was clocked earlier this year at 99 mph. “It’s pretty tough, especially if a pitcher like that is effective with a secondary pitch. Up until he came in we were battling.”

Stilson struck out six of the 13 Cougars who were “K-ed” in the game and picked up his second save of the season.

Twice BYU was tied the game against the Aggies, now 6-2. And in the fourth inning the Cougars had a one-run lead.

Sean McNaughton hit a one-out triple in the third, which bounced in the rightfield corner over the foul line. Wolfe drove in McNaughton to tie the score at one-all with a liner over the third baseman.

Bryce Ayoso doubled in the gap to right centerfield and was singled in by Austin Hall in the fourth as BYU took a 2-1 lead.

“We didn’t come up with the big hit when we needed it,” said Law. “They hit a hanging slider a long way for a home run. But, our pitchers had been keeping us in the game. We struck out too many times. I’m not discouraged, we played hard and were in a position to win if we rallied.”

The loss halts a three-game winning streak as BYU goes up-state to start a three-game series at UT Arlington on Thursday.

Five days of baseball in Texas

Image

Five straight days of baseball in Texas for BYU, with a 2-4 record, begins Tuesday evening at Baylor University (4-3).

After meeting the Bears, the Cougars have a contest at Texas A & M (5-2), followed by a three-game series at UT Arlington (2-4).

Shawn Hardesty (0-1, 16.88) gets the start on the mound for BYU against Baylor. Freshman lefty Mark Anderson starts for the Cougars at Texas A & M on Wednesday. Then BYU returns to its regular rotation at UT Arlington with righthanders Justin Shutt (0-1, 8.00), Matt Neil (1-0, 1.74) and Chunner Nyberg (0-1, 10.57).

“We are looking forward to playing quality programs,” said BYU Coach Vance Law. “These games will be a good measuring stick for our players.”

UT Arlington senior Jason Mitchell was named one of the national pitchers of the week for his 18-strikeout performance against Missouri State last Friday, a no-hitter for 8.2 innings.
