“We had plenty of chances to score tonight, but we weren’t very disciplined at the plate,” said BYU head coach Trent Pratt. “Good teams play the same for nine innings, whether they are leading or playing from behind. We need to do a better job of being consistent. We’ll make some adjustments and come ready to play tomorrow.”
Player Highlights
- Kuhio Aloy: 2-4, HR, RBI
- Bryker Hurdsman: 2-5
- Mason Olson: 4.2 innings, 4 K, 0 ERA
