Hood Throws Shutout in Snow
Billings, MT- The Brigham Young University-Hawaii women's softball team
split a doubleheader with Montana State-Billings today, losing the first
game 7-1 before taking the second game 4-0 behind a two-hitter by pitcher
Kassiopeia Hood.
Hood pitched her third shutout of the season, and third victory, despite
a temperature in the low 30's and a light snowfall. Hood struck out six
and walked just two. The Seasiders backed her with a pair of runs in the
third inning without getting a hit by taking advantage of four walks in
the inning. Shortstop Crystal Elton added an RBI triple in the fifth and
first baseman Andrea Anderson drove in the final run with a single in
the sixth inning.
BYU-Hawaii held a 1-0 lead in the first game until the Yellowjackets
exploded for six runs in the fourth inning to take control of the game.
MSUB's Theresa Campbell hit a solo homerun in the fifth to complete the
scoring and give the Yellowjackets their first victory of the season and
first-ever Pacific West Conference win.
BYU-Hawaii moves to 9-18 for the season and 2-8 in the PacWest. MSUB
improves to 1-15 overall and 1-13 in the conference. The two teams will
meet in a doubleheader again tomorrow.
