Summary
BYU scored early and often with at least one run in each of the first four innings. Bryker Hurdsman<\/a> homered to lead off the game and Easton Jones<\/a> scored Luke Anderson<\/a> on infield ground ball for a 2-0 lead in the Cougars\u2019 first at bat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After holding TTU scoreless in the bottom of the first, Matt Hansen<\/a> led off the second inning with a first-pitch home run to deep center field for the third run of the game. Ezra McNaughton<\/a> later doubled to score Hurdsman, who had reach on a walk, for a 4-0 advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cougars picked up another run in the third inning off a third-straight lead-off home run, this one by Jones for a 5-0 lead. The senior third baseman now has 30 home runs in his career, good for 33rd all-time on the BYU career list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Texas Tech answered with a lead-off home run of its own in the bottom of the third to make the score 5-1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BYU added three more runs in the fourth to push its lead to 8-1. Hurdsman led off the inning with a walk and later scored on a single by Ryder Robinson<\/a>. After a Jones single, Crew McChesney<\/a> also singled to right field to score both McNaughton and Robinson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TTU picked up single runs in the bottom of the fifth and sixth innings, but a three-run home run by Hansen in the top of the sixth all but sealed the deal for BYU, 11-3. The Cougars tacked on an insurance run in the ninth off Hurdsman\u2019s second bomb of the night for a 12-3 final.\u00a0<\/p>\n
