Cougars Drop Second Pitcher's Duel at SDSU

Image

SAN DIEGO -- A day after the BYU softball team defeated San Diego State in extra innings, it was SDSU that pulled out the late-game heroics for a 1-0 win in eight innings on Saturday.

Senior pitcher Paige Affleck started for the third time in three days for BYU and again held San Diego State without an earned run after shutting out SDSU on Friday and UNLV on Thursday.

Affleck went 7.2 innings with no earned runs, five strikeouts, five hits and three walks before the Aztecs managed to finally bring a runner around in the bottom of the eighth.

With one out in the inning, Jessica Camello blooped a single over BYU first baseman Stacie Graham's head and into right field where Delaney Willard had trouble collecting the ball, enabling Camello to reach second.

Affleck forced the second out of the inning, but SDSU's Justeen Maeva singled up the middle, bringing around Camello for the win.

As a team, BYU had five hits scattered over five different players. SDSU's Bailey Micetich also pitched for the second-consecutive day, allowing the Cougars to reach third twice in the game, once in the first inning and another time in the second.

Junior Tiffany Messerschmidt also hit a double with two outs in the top of the eighth, but was left stranded to end the Cougars' chances.

The loss halts a 12-game win streak for BYU, tied for third longest in school history, and drops the Cougars to 24-15, 2-1.

BYU returns home on Tuesday, Apr. 19, to face Utah Valley at 6 p.m. MT at Gail Miller Field, the first game in a nine-game homestand over the next two weeks.

First Conference Roadtrip - Week 10

Image

CLICK HERE to follow the BYU softball team on Facebook.

BYU softball travels to play UNLV on Thursday, Apr. 14, and San Diego State on Friday and Saturday, Apr. 15-16, to begin Mountain West Conference play.

COUGAR QUICK HITS

— Junior right fielder Delaney Willard has hit five home runs in BYU’s last four games against Seattle, Loyola Marymount and a doubleheader vs. Southern Utah. Willard’s current four-game home run streak is the longest for a BYU player since Stephanie Hopkins hit one out in four straight in April 2008. Her five homers are the most in a four-game span since Angie Quiocho hit six out of the park also in April 2008.

— BYU senior catcher Jessica Fitu enters the weekend broke the BYU and Mountain West Conference record for most RBI in a career, passing current BYU assistant coach and former Cougar player Ianeta Le’i with her 212th RBI against Seattle on Saturday. Fitu’s sac fly scored JC Clayton in the first inning.

— BYU currently leads the MWC in walks, opposing batting average, hits allowed, earned runs allowed and extra-base hits allowed.

OPPONENTS SERIES NOTES

UNLV is 2-1 in conference play with a 20-14 record overall. UNLV boasts a number of power hitters throughout its roster, including six players with four or more home runs. Conversely, the Rebels have allowed 38 stolen bases this season while grabbing just 12 themselves.

Kylie Wagner leads the team with a .485 average and .939 slugging percentage, but it’s Ashli Holland who has ignited UNLV, racking up 73 total bases with 11 doubles and five home runs among 45 total hits. In the circle, Amanda Oliveto has thrown two no-hitters this sea- son and comes in with a 2.19 ERA and 17-6 record.

BYU next heads to San Diego State in a matchup against what has lately been the top two teams in the conference. SDSU has shown few signs of letdown this season, going 3-0 in the opening round of conference play and hosting a 27-14 record overall.

Typically a team with pitching strength, the Aztecs have solid bats this year, including Lorena Klopp’s 14 home runs. Seven SDSU players have more than 30 hits, including Justeen Maeva’s 41 hits and .363 average. Bailey Micetich has a 1.71 ERA and 14-7 record while last year’s MWC Pitcher of the Year, Samantha Beasley, is at a 3.46 ERA and 9-6 record.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK GOES TO HOUSE

Senior Kristin Delahoussaye earned the MWC Player of the Week after helping the Cougars go 4-0 last week. House's biggest game came against Utah State when the senior racked up 11 total bases (two home runs and a triple) on Mar. 29, tying for the fifth-most total bases in a game by a Cougar in program history and equaling the most in a game for BYU since Angie Quiocho had 12 off three home runs against UNLV on May 7, 2010.

ALL-TIME CONFERENCE WINS LEADER

Already the record holder in all BYU career pitching categories, senior Paige Affleck became the winningest pitcher in Mountain West Conference history on Mar. 19, winning the 74th game of her career over No. 9 California in the Hawaii Spring Fling Tournament championship game. Affleck has now won 79 games in her career.

TAKING MORE

BYU has 12 players with at least one stolen base so far this year, led by freshman Lacey Millett’s nine steals. Seven players have four or more. The Cougars have 47 stolen bases overall, already eighth-most in a season by a BYU team, and had a season-high four stolen bases against Florida State and Iona.

GOTTA SCORE

BYU is 15-0 when scoring at least six runs and 18-0 when leading after five innings. In addition, 11 of BYU’s 14 losses have come by three runs or less.
