BYU softball edged Hawai’i, 2-1, on the second day of the Outrigger Resorts Hawai’i Spring Fling Tournament on Thursday.
BYU (10-12) scored two runs on three hits to defeat Hawai’i (11-9) in the teams’ second matchup of the season. The Cougars gave up just four hits and played an errorless game with Arissa Paulson getting the win and Kerisa Viramontes earning the save.
"Our pitchers stepped up tonight and pitched a great game," BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. "We played solid defense and scratched out enough runs to win. It was a great overall effort."
Madison Merrell went 2-for-3 at the plate for BYU, while Rylee Jensen’s home run was the Cougars' only other hit of the game.
