BYU Softball Moves to 16-14 with Saturday Split

Image

TEMPE -- The BYU softball team (16-14) lost its second in as many days to Illinois (20-10) by a score of 7-2, but avoided falling to a .500 mark by beating Longwood (10-8), 9-1.

Illinois led 2-0 after the first inning, but the Cougars cut the margin to one with a run in the second. With runners in scoring position and two outs, sophomore Andi Ramirez hit a single to left field allowing Cortney Nix-Clark to score from third and shorten the gap to 2-1.

Two runs in the fourth inning and three in the fifth boosted the Illini's lead up to six. Junior Emi Snow blasted a lead-off home run to left center in the top of the seventh, but BYU could not mount a comeback as the team left a total of 12 runners on base for the game. Ramirez and Nix-Clark each went 2-for-3 in the 7-2 loss.

A big second inning against Longwood helped the Cougars secure their first win in its final game of the Invitational. Nursing a 2-1 lead, BYU scored six runs in the second inning behind two 2-run shots from Angeline Quiocho and Jodi Norton. Monica Gonzales also had an RBI-double in the inning. Gonzales finished 3-for-3 with three runs and an RBI against the Lancers. Norton went 2-for-3 with three RBI.

Freshman Christie Zinanti picked up her fifth win of the season, recording five strikeouts and allowing just one earned run in five innings of play.

Next up for BYU is a double-header at Southern Utah on Wednesday, March 28. The two teams meet at 2 p.m. (MST) and 4 p.m.
