BASEBALL: Consecutive doubles and a two-run homer by Washington offset BYU's seven-inning lead Thursday night as the Cougars lost to the Huskies, 5-1.

Kyle Conley's home run and doubles by Bradley Boyer and Troy Scott preceded a two-run homer by Ty Rasmussen in the five-run eighth inning. Those hits erased the 1-0 lead shutout Jordan Muir had going for the Cougars.

On Friday night, Kyle Conley hit a pair of home runs to help give 23-9 Washington a 12-4 victory over 14-20 BYU. Dan Vargas had a two-run homer for the Cougars.
