Brock Hale watches his towering sixth home run of the season land beyond the left field fence on Saturday. BYU lost, 9-4, to LMU for a Lions' three-game sweep.

A dozen Cougars were left on base and BYU baseball booted three plays en route to a 9-4 loss against Loyola Marymount in the series finale Saturday at Larry H. Miller Field.

"I felt like we came out flat," BYU head coach Mike Littlewood said. "Baseball comes down to one play here or there; they made them, and we didn't."

BYU's loss marked the first sweep of the Cougars (9-9, 0-3 West Coast Conference) on their home turf since 2015.
