Deep Ball Sweeps Rebels
main image
LAS -- Needing a pair of wins on the road to have a chance at winning the Mountain West Conference regular season title BYU delivered a sweep of UNLV Saturday, 10-0 and 12-6.
The wins improve the Cougars to 40-18 (15-5 MWC) and put BYU just one game behind league-leading San Diego State. Should Utah sweep the Aztecs tomorrow, the Cougars would win the regular season title, having the best winning percentage in the league.
"We have ended the season strong," BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. "To beat a team with as much young talent as UNLV four times in a season is a pretty impressive thing to do."
After the first six Cougars were retired to begin the game, BYU jumped all over the Rebels in the third inning, putting six runs on the board. After Jodi Norton walked, Jennifer Whiteley, Tracee Hoch and Andrea Ramirez hit back-to-back-to-back singles to start the third. Ramirez's single scored Norton and Whiteley.
Up 2-0 with no outs in the third Emi Snow and Ianeta Le`i hit back-to-back homers to put the Cougars up 6-0. Snow's homer was good for three runs while Le`i's was a solo shot.
The Snow-Le`i connection delivered RBI again in the top of the fourth. Snow picked up a RBI single and was followed by a run-scoring double from Le`i. Jodi Norton added a fifth-inning two-run round-tripper to give the Cougars a 10-0 lead.
In the pitchers circle Summer Tobias cruised, allowing only five hits in five innings to pick up the shut out victory.
In game two BYU had to come from behind. UNLV scored two in both the first and third innings to go ahead 4-0. The Cougars came alive in the top of the fourth. After Snow got aboard on a fielding error, Le`i nailed her school-record tying 20th homer of the season to cut the Rebels lead in half. Monica Gonzales added a sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 4-3.
Down one in the top of the sixth, BYU needed another big hit. Gonzales tied the score for the Cougars on a RBI ground out. Two batters later, Hoch delivered the big hit, a three-run home run to give BYU a 7-4 lead. The Cougars wouldn't trail after that.
After UNLV scored two runs to cut the BYU lead to 7-6 in the bottom of the sixth, the Cougars added five more runs in the top of the seventh to put the game out of reach. Gonzales delivered a two-run single and scored when Cortney Nix nailed a two-run homer.
The Cougars will return to Las Vegas next week to play in the MWC Tournament. Tournament pairings will be available Sunday evening at the conclusion of the San Diego State-Utah doubleheader. Tournament play begins Thursday.
