Thursday night in Provo, Utah, it's game one
of a 3-game series between the BYU Cougars and the
Kansas State Wildcats. Strike 3 back to back strikeouts
for Hayden Coon. Now there's 2 down with 2
on. That fouled off to stay alive. 2
and 2. Got him strike 33 straight strikeouts by
Hayden Coon. The Wildcats lead 2 bottom of the
1st inning coming up. It's quite a complex here
at Miller Park. 3 and 2. Robinson to
right field, back drifting to the wall, it's
still going and it is gone. Ryder Robinson,
8th on the year, 2 to 0 BYU.
Wow, I'll tell you what, Ryder hit that
on the button. We were watching AJ Ivasco out
there in right field. He was slowly going back
trying to get a beat on the ball and he
just kept carrying it and carrying it right about that
388 ft sign, and then it gets over.
What's this pitch right down the middle. That's a
pitch that Frost would like to have back and Robinson
crushes it. There goes about 10 ft over the
fence, so it's about a 400 ft home run
. 2 and 2 Slow roller into right field.
Herdsman will score. Campbell to 3rd. Watkins with
the RBI single, and it's 3 to 0 BYU
. At the moment. Painter takes off and the
throw is down, and in time. For the
out Left fielder, center fielder, all of them
dealing with it. This one to left field by
Watkins. Gamble scores and a back to back RBI
single for the senior out of Pleasant Grove, Utah
. And now he's having a hard time finding it
. This one to left field, hit hard,
it's back and it's gone. His first home run
of the year, a 3. It's 7 to
nothing. Wow, that was a hooking liner.
That ball got out of here in a hurry.
To hit a line drive at third base this time
he got underneath it and right down that left field
line is 3:47 and that made it by about 20
ft. You look at this location fastball kind of
almost built high and look how Goff turns on it
for his first home run of the season, a
3 run shot. That's 4 runs with two outs
here in the third. This one to center field
, but Chesney is back to the warning track and
it's gone. AJ Ivaco, his 8th home run
of the year, and Kansas State's on the board
, 7 to 2. Well, Kansas State's answering
two outs and uh a single and a home run
. That ball we weren't sure when it was hit
, whether it was out of here, but Davasco
really took a hard swing that 1st, 1st swing
and look at this pitch. That's kind of a
hanging curveball. Robinson to left field. That one
is back to the track and it is sailing.
His 2nd Well, he hit it left handed for
one of them. Excuse me, I think they're
both on the right side of the plate, but
one went to left field, one went to right
field. That ball when it was hit, it
looked like it was gone, but he went to
the 380 ft sign, so it's a long ways
out in left center and watched this ball carry down
and in on the pitch, and you can see
the quick that of Robinson, 380 ft right there
. A power against a power moment. Here's the
pitch. Ball 44 straight walks. Kennedy comes in
. Floury's over to 3rd, Bishop to 2nd,
and Ivaco walks down to 1st base. This one
to left field. Gamble underneath it. Flores will
tag from 3rd. The throw over to 2nd is
not in time. There's 1 down, another run
is in. It's 8 to 4. Base hit
here can get that score within 2 and there in
the center field. Bishop scores. Ivasco is gonna
score in a way with a 2 out single.
It's now 8 to 6. And in the left
field goes Gamble. Vest comes home, Herdsman over
to 3rd, Gamble the 2nd with a double,
and he's done it again. Well, a great
piece of hitting that time by Tate Gamble that down
on the account, got behind on that fastball,
just a 79 mile curveball right on the outside part
of the plate, a really, really good pitch
, and he just gets the bat on it,
puts the ball in play and barrels it out the
left field. Bay Medliak, 22. And hit
into right field. Goff comes in to score.
McNaughton to 2, another RBI for Robinson. An
insurance run comes in and it's 10 to 6.
So yeah, they're in range, graduation season.
Machesney hits a rocket in the right. Gamble's gonna
score an insurance run is in and Machesney with his
36th run batted in. 5 What a pitch by
Porter. And the Cougars win it 11 to 6
to take game one of this very important 3-game series
for BYU as they're fighting for a shot at the 00:05:55.970 --> postseason.
