PROVO -- National home run leader Angeline Quiocho belted her 27th round tripper Wednesday as No. 25 BYU (42-11 overall, 11-3 MWC) defeated Utah Valley (27-26 overall, 13-7 PCSC) 11-0 at Gail Miller Field.
“It’s been great to have her (Quiocho) playing the way she’s capable of,” said head coach Gordon Eakin. “She has brought a big boost lately to an already solid lineup.”
With that homerun, Quiocho, who also leads the country in RBI and RBI per game, notched her 82nd RBI and her 31st extra base hit of the season.
After giving up a lead off hit to start the game, junior Paige Affleck found her groove in the circle, surrendering no more Wolverine base runners in her three innings of work. Affleck collected her 29th win of the season.
“We always want to have solid pitching, defense and hitting,” Eakin said. “I am proud of our kids for competing the way they did.”
Senior Andrea Ramirez also belted a homerun in the seven-run third inning for the Cougars. The shot was her 18th home run and her 63rd RBI of the season.
The Cougars finish regular season play Saturday as they face-off against Utah in the final Deseret Duel matchup of the year. The Cougars are 2-0 against the Utes this season and hold a 28-17 record all-time against the Utes.
First pitch is set for 1 p.m. in Salt Lake City. The game will be broadcast live on The Mountain.
