PROVO, Utah -- Wes Guenther and Austin Hall combined for six RBI as the BYU baseball team (15-12, 3-3) defeated UVU 11-3 Tuesday at Larry H. Miller Field.

Guenther delivered a bases–loaded double in the bottom of the fifth inning that gave the Cougars a 4-3 lead. Hall drove in two more for BYU in the bottom of the seventh, extending the lead to 8-3.

"Anytime you start developing a cushion, it gives a pitcher more confidence," said BYU head coach Vance Law. "We've got good team speed and we took advantage of that a couple of times tonight."

Right fielder Jaycob Brugman went 2-for-4 from the plate with one RBI and in the process extended his team-leading hitting streak to eight games.

Making his fourth start of the season, freshman Desmond Poulson sat the Wolverines down in order in the first inning and held UVU hitless through the first three innings. Poulson would strike out three and surrender five hits in five innings of work to improve his record to 3-0.

"I was really please with Desmond's outing," Law said. "He is still learning, but he had good command tonight."

Designated hitter Chase Frampton got things rolling for the Cougars with an RBI single in the bottom half of the first.

The Wolverines would take the lead in the top of the fourth after Poulson hit two batters and a triple made the score 2-1. UVU added to its lead with one more run in the inning.

After left fielder Ryan Bernal was intentionally walked to load the bases in the bottom of the fifth, pinch hitter Wes Guenther lined a bases-clearing double to the right-center gap, driving in three and put the Cougars back on top 4-3.

Junior Matthew Neil took over for Poulson in the sixth inning after a UVU double put two runners in scoring position. Neil retired three-consecutive Wolverines to end the threat and preserve the lead.

"I like starting, but I've been working to pick up my intensity no matter when I come in," Neil said. "I just try to come in and attack hitters and be aggressive."

Catcher Alex Wolfe extended the Cougar lead in the bottom of the sixth with his third homerun of the season, a solo shot that gave BYU a 5-3 advantage.

The Cougars would add three insurance runs in the bottom of the seventh and three more in their half of the eighth to give Neil an 11-3 cushion.

The Cougars return to Larry H. Miller Field Thursday for the first of a three-game series with the Air Force Falcons, with opening pitch is set for 6 p.m. MDT.

UVU on Tuesday 1st of 13 TV Games

Image

Deceptive records and weather are concerns for BYU’s baseball team as it hosts Utah Valley University on Tuesday and the Air Force Academy this weekend.

BYU, now 14-12, first hosts UVU , 7-16, on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the first of 13 live televised games this season by BYUtv. Freshman Desmond Poulson (2-0, 6.75) has been tabbed as BYU’s starting pitcher against the Wolverines.

All three games against Air Force will be televised live by BYUtv with Jarom Jordan calling the play-by-play and Gary Sheide as color analyst. Thursday and Friday’s games are scheduled for 6 p.m. and will be rebroadcast by BYUtv at 10 p.m. those nights, while Saturday’s contest starts at 1 p.m.

Both BYU and Air Force, who had an 11-17 overall record coming into the week, have scheduled games with UVU and Northern Colorado, respectively, on Tuesday before meeting in Provo.

On the mound for BYU against Air Force will be Taylor Cole (3-1, 2.20), Chris Capper (2-2, 3.95) and Matthew Neil (1-2, 2.30) in that order. BYU is 3-3 in the Mountain West Conference, while AFA is 0-5.

“Weather will be a challenge, but our groundskeeper Brian Hill does a nice job and we’ll figure out a way to get the games in,” said BYU coach Vance Law. “Air Force is a solid team and UVU is playing better the last while. We will need to be on top of our game and can’t assume anything against these teams even though their records don’t appear to be stellar.”
