PROVO -- The BYU softball team opened up the season with an impressive display of offensive firepower on their way to a 10-6 victory over Southern Utah University and followed it up with a 21-3 win over Utah Valley State College Feb. 4 in St. George, Utah.
The Cougars jumped on SUU in the first inning as juniors Paige Paramore and Ashlyn Russell hit back-to-back homeruns. Steady pitching by Summer Tobias and a strong defense kept SUU at bay until the Thunderbirds made a move in the fourth inning taking a one-run 6-5 lead. However, BYU showed heart and determination. Russell hit her second homerun of the game, this time a two-run shot. The Cougars never looked back.
BYU Head Coach Gordon Eakin said he was pleased with the poise BYU displayed.
"I was pleased with our offense, when things got close, we kept battling and put the game away," Eakin said.
In the second game of the double-header, BYU played UVSC. With the sun setting in the background, the game was visually difficult for the players and the game was close early. Coach Eakin said that experience will help this team defensively.
"We need to get a little better defensively, especially when dealing with the outside elements," Eakin said. "But I'm not worried, it'll come together."
When the sun was down, the Cougars opened up and rocked UVSC scoring 10 runs in the third inning on their way to the lopsided victory.
In the two games, BYU hit nine homeruns, Paramore (2), Lauren Watson-Perry (1), Daniella Urincho (2), Emi Snow (1), Russell (2), Debbie Dodds (1).
BYU plays again Feb. 5 at 2 p.m. at The Canyons in St. George, Utah once again versus SUU.
