SALT LAKE CITY -- Angeline Quiocho hit a bases-loaded single in the top of the ninth Saturday to give No. 25 BYU the lead over rival Utah en route to winning 7-2, and clinching its second straight Mountain West Conference Title.
“It was a hard-fought game,” said BYU head coach Gordon Eakin. “Paige (Affleck) threw a great ballgame and we were able to stay consistent with the bats.”
With the victory the Cougars clinched their second Mountain West Conference title in as many years and improved their overall record to 43-11, with a 12-3 conference record. The Cougars await the announcement of their sixth straight NCAA regional tournament bid and are hopeful for the chance to host for the third time in five years.
Affleck, a junior, picked up her 30th win of the season, striking out five and walking four in her eighth complete-game performance of the year. With the win, Affleck improved her overall record to 30-8, and her conference record to 9-2.
Andrea Ramirez hit her 19th homerun of the season in the top of the second inning to put the Cougars up 1-0. Ramirez is second in the Mountain West Conference in homeruns behind teammate Quiocho. BYU is now 28-3 when it scores first and 38-6 when it hits at least one home run.
Affleck silenced the Ute bats until the bottom of the seventh, when Utah scored two runs on two hits to send the game into extra innings.
After holding the Utes in the bottom of the eighth, the Cougars loaded the bases for Quiocho, who leads the nation in home runs with 27. With a 1-1 count, Quiocho delivered a two-RBI single to put the Cougars up for good. BYU added three more insurance runs in the inning.
The Cougars await their placement in the NCAA regional tournament, beginning May 20. The tournament site will be announced Sunday, May 16 at 10 p.m. EST on ESPNU.
