PALO ALTO -- All-American Oli Keohohou hit a three-run game winning home run in the seventh inning, her 14th of the season, as BYU came back to beat No. 2 Stanford 5-4 in the second game of a double header. The Cougars lost the first game 6-3 and are now 19-11 on the season. Stanford lost for just the third time all season and drop to 27-3.
In the first game, Cynthia Fallowfield (10-5) pitched five innings in the loss. Keohohou went 1-2 with a walk and a run scored. Arron Layns also went 1-2 while Lauren Watson went 1-3 with a run scored. The loss snapped a six-game winning streak.
In the second game, sophomore Ariel Capra (6-2) allowed eights hits and four runs (two earned) in the win for the Cougars. Watson, a freshman, went 2-3 and had a home run with two RBI. Keohohou went 2-4 with three RBI while sophomore Kate Walker went 2-3. Holding on to a 5-4 lead in the bottom of seventh inning, the Cardinal had runners on first and second base with no outs, but the Cougar's defense was able to hold off any last minute runs and retired the inning for the victory. The Cougars are now 4-4 against top 25 teams on the season.
"This was a great win for us and our program," said head coach Mary Kay Amicone.
Up next for the Cougars is a double-header against in-state rival Utah State Wednesday, Mar. 27 at 2 p.m. at Gail Miller field.

PROVO -- The BYU women's softball team will travel to California once again this weekend to take on St. Mary on Friday and PAC-10 powerhouse No. 3 Stanford on Saturday at 1 p.m.. The Cougars are riding a six-game winning streak and are currently 18-10.
BYU swept Southern Utah 4-3, 10-2 last Saturday in the season home-opener at Gail Miller Field, playing inspite of a snow storm just hours before the game. Ariel Capra (10-2) and Cynthia Fallowfield (10-4) picked up the wins for the Cougars. All-American Oli Keohohou hit the game-winning solo home run in bottom of the seventh inning in the first game. Senior Liz VanderLinden hit two triples and three RBI in the second game.
The Cougars are led BYU Keohohou, who has 13 home runs and leads the team in batting average (.462) and slugging percentage (1.077). Captain Brooke Cadiente leads the team in RBI with 30. Fallowfield leads the team in wins (10) while freshman Niki Andersen leads the team in ERA (3.57)
