Pitchers Hayden Rogers and Riley Gates combined for a 6-5 victory for BYU baseball in the nightcap after CSUN won Saturday’s first game, 10-9.
The southpaw senior duo foiled the Matadors’ second come-from-behind attempt of the day as the Cougars improved to 2-1.
Rogers was the starting and winning pitcher, walking none in 7.1 innings. Gates followed suit, also walking none, and picked up his second save in as many days, striking out four Matadors in 1.2 innings in game three of the series.
“Hayden (Rogers) gave us the start we needed in game two,” BYU coach Mike Littlewood said.
