The Saint Mary’s College baseball team (20-12, 10-5 WCC) continued their unprecedented run of success with a strong showing late last week, taking two out of three from a talented BYU team (27-7, 10-5 WCC) at Louis Guisto Field.
The highly-anticipated series kicked off Thursday afternoon as Corbin Burnes got the starting pitching nod from head coach Eric Valenzuela. Burnes went six strong innings against the Cougars with eight strikeouts and just one earned run as the Gaels escaped a two out, two base runner jam in the top of the eigth to help secure the 5-4 win.
