Early Errors Doom Cougars
main image
LAS -- UNLV (28-16-1, 4-0) capitalized on two Cougar errors to score five unearned runs in the first two innings. It would prove to be enough to get the 5-2 win over BYU (20-16, 2-2).
BYU began to chip away at the deficit beginning with Jodi Norton's walk to lead off the fourth inning. With pinch-runner Jana Anderson on first, senior Cortney Nix-Clark and junior Dani Urincho both hit singles to left field. A fielding error allowed Monica Gonzales to reach first and Anderson to score the Cougar's first run of the day. Later in the inning, Jennifer Whiteley drew a bases-loaded walk that brought Urincho in cutting UNLV's lead down to three.
The Cougars appeared to be on the verge of mounting the rest of their comeback in the fifth inning where Rebel pitcher Heather Slettvet got herself into a bases-loaded-and-one-out situation. However, Urincho struck out looking and Gonzales grounded out to Slettvet to end the threat. BYU would not get another chance, as Slettvet and Stephanie Bregante combined to retire eight of the last 11 batters they faced.
BYU hosts cross-town rival Utah Valley State College on Tues., April 10 at 4 p.m. (MST) at Gail Miller Field before heading to Salt Lake City to take on its biggest rival, University of Utah, on Friday and Saturday.
