Box Score

TUCSON, Ariz.-Senior shortstop Nick Day, a transfer from Stanford, collected three hits and drove in four runs, leading Brigham Young to its first victory of the year, a 15-9 triumph over No. 19 Arizona here Monday afternoon.

The Cougars improved to 1-4 on the season, while the Cats fell to 4-3.

BYU scored in each of its final eight at-bats and posted multiple runs in five straight innings from the third to the seventh. All nine starters collected at least one hit. The top four batters in the lineup went 11-for-18 with nine runs scored and six RBI.

Sophomore left-hander Jeff Stone (1-0) earned the win for the Cougars, striking out five in 5.1 innings. Senior southpaw Tony Milo (1-1) allowed 12 hits over 4.0 innings, taking the loss for Arizona.

For the Cats, junior third baseman Erik Torres extended his career-long hitting streak to 13 with a single and a home run. Freshman designated hitter Matt Abram singled, doubled and tripled. Junior right-hander Kevin Huff worked 2.0 innings of relief in his first appearance since Feb. 25, 1997, having come back from a shoulder injury.

Arizona and BYU conclude their series Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Sancet Field.
