And it's different players each time. That's really we aren't relying on the good same people every time." One of those who stepped up Saturday was shortstop Eric McDowell. After struggling at the plate through the Cougars' sweep of the Falcons Friday, McDowell was hot at the plate Saturday. After a strikeout in the first inning, he laced the ball sharply to the right side to advance Jared Bills, aboard on an error, to second on a play in the third. Bills went on to score BYU's second run on Brad Winget's single to give the Cougars their first lead of the game.
