PROVO — BYU cleanup hitter Jackson Cluff did exactly what's expected of those who bat fourth in the lineup, knocking a two-out and bases-clearing triple to right field in the bottom of the eighth inning of the Cougars' 5-1 win over Utah Valley on Tuesday.
The game marked the home-opener for the Cougars on the season, with several fans braving the rainy conditions to come out and support the home team. Those fans were treated to a well-played game, but with a lot of missed opportunities for the Cougars, who placed runners on base in every inning, yet only had accounted for one run until Cluff stepped to the plate in the eighth.
