Cougars Drop Second Pitcher's Duel at SDSU

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.
