Inglemoor High graduate Stephen Wells’ two-run homer in the ninth inning lifted Brigham Young University to an 11-10 victory March 6 over the University of Texas at Arlington in a seesaw game.
The Cougars improved to 4-7, while UT Arlington fell to 4-6. The victory over the Mavericks gave BYU a bookend finish to a five-game week that started earlier in Texas with a win at Baylor.
Wells, a sophomore outfielder who had not played in a week because of a hamstring injury, belted a shot to right field off All-American junior outfielder Michael Choice, who came in as UTA’s sixth reliever in his first appearance from the mound.
The Cougars return to open the home season on Thursday in a three-game series with the University of Washington.
