SB | Cougars Take First Game of Series
5/3/2019 6:06:00 PM | Softball
Saint Mary's dropped the first of three games this weekend versus the Cougars.
MORAGA, Calif. — The Cougars' (25-21, 9-1 WCC) big bats made the difference in the series opener on Friday as Saint Mary's (11-35, 4-6 WCC) fell 7-0 at Cottrell Field.
A two-run home run that flew just within the left field foul pole gave BYU an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first. Olivia Sanchez cleared the bases in the third with a three-run RBI single to center field to put the Cougars up five and an infield single would cross the final two runs in the top of the seventh.
The Gaels had eight hits in the game but stranded eight runners in the shutout loss. Saint Mary's had at least one batter reach in six of the seven innings and struck out just twice.
Seven Gaels earned a base knock in the contest and Jayda Alaan led the pack with a 2-for-4 game from the two-hole. All eight of the team's hits were singles.
Arissa Paulson, who had the first inning home run for BYU, threw a complete game to pick up her 13th win of the season. Sofia Earle threw three scoreless innings in relief for Saint Mary's and struck out two.
UP NEXT: DOUBLEHEADER VERSUS BYU
