BYU baseball upsets No. 19 San Diego in back-to-back games

A second-consecutive upset was registered by BYU baseball over No. 19 San Diego with a 12-8 victory on Saturday.

The Cougars (22-14 overall and 11-4 in the West Coast Conference) took the series by knocking the Toreros (27-11 and 13-5) out of first place in the league. BYU, which will sit no worse than third place in the WCC this weekend, moved up from fourth place past USD.

Pinch-hitter Nate Favero laced a three-run double to the center field wall to regain the Cougar lead at 9-8 in the seventh inning. Reliever Jordan Wood struck out the final batter looking in each of his three innings to improve his record to 3-0.
