PROVO, Utah – San Diego had a tough day all around and dropped a pair of run-rule decisions at BYU on Friday evening.
 
The Toreros (19-23, 3-5 WCC) were outscored 23-2 in two games against the Cougars (23-20, 7-1 WCC). USD dropped the first game 8-0 in six innings and fell in the second contest 15-2 in five innings.
 
Lindsay Clare logged the only hit for USD in the first game. Delaney Heller (10-8) got the start in the circle and lasted 1 2/3 innings before being relieved by Halle Kyler.
 
Kyler shouldered a majority of the load, holding the Cougars to three runs on four hits and one walk with one strikeout in 4.0 innings.
 
The Toreros offense generated more production in the second game with seven hits and a pair of runs, but it could not keep pace with BYU's which produced 15 runs on 13 hits.
 
Lauren Hendrickson provided a pinch-hit two-RBI single to give USD its only runs of the night.
 
The Toreros will look to bounce back in the series finale on Saturday at noon PT.
