Tenth Homer for Norton Not Enough For Win
main image
LAS -- In a clash of two Mountain West Conference unbeatens, BYU (20-15, 2-1) fell 3-1 to UNLV (27-16, 3-0).
Rebel freshman Jaci Hull hit a lead-off home run in the first inning to give UNLV a 1-0 lead that held until the fourth inning when Cougar senior Jodi Norton tied things up with a two-out solo smash to right field. The home run was Norton's tenth of the season and BYU's first and only hit of the night.
In the fifth inning, with a runner in scoring position, Rebel centerfielder Brittany Freight doubled to left center driving in Bri Bernardi. Two batters later Kelli Fangonilo grounded out to third, but Freight scored on the play giving UNLV a two-run cushion that would eventually become the final.
Freshman Christie Zinanti struck out six batters, giving her a season total of 53.
BYU has a chance to even the score when they face off against UNLV on Saturday at 2 p.m. (PST).
