SEATTLE -- Seattle University snarred a 3-2 victory Thursday afternoon over BYU's baseball team in 16 innings.

With one out and the bases loaded, Mike Malland singled in Nate Roberts to end the marathon. The 16 innings was the longest game for BYU since a 17-inning victory over Utah in 2004. Roberts drew a lead-off walk from Devin Brewer and scored on Malland's single off of David McKnight.

Brewer and McKnight were two of seven pitchers BYU used to stop the Redhawks. In the process, five Cougars tied the school record of seven at bats in a game.

Seattle took a 1-0 lead which BYU tied in the third when Alex Wolfe singled up the middle to score Dane Nielsen. The Redhawks took a 2-1 lead in the fifth, leaving the bases loaded.

BYU tied the game at two-all in the seventh when Washington native Stephen Wells hit a sac-fly to score Jonathan Cluff.

The Cougars stranded runners in the ninth, 11th, 13th and 16th innings. In the ninth and 16th, Austin Hall hit two-out doubles. In the 13th, Brandon Relf hit a lead-off double and advance to third on a sac bunt as two Cougars were left on base that inning.

The Redhawks improve to 6-28, while BYU falls to 18-21. The two teams meet again on Friday afternoon.

A return to Washington finds BYU's baseball team taking a break from its conference schedule with games this weekend against Seattle University and the University of Portland.

The Seattle University Redhawks will host BYU, 18-20 overall, and Portland, starting first with the Cougars on Thursday.

Sophomore Matthew Neil (3-4, 5.74) will start for BYU in that Thursday afternoon game, followed by southpaw Mark Anderson (1-1, 5.93) on Friday afternoon against the Redhawks. On Saturday, BYU has an afternoon game in Seattle against No. 26 Portland with freshman Chris Capper (2-0, 5.25) taking the mound for the Cougars.

Among those to watch for the Cougars are Alex Wolfe and releif pitchers Kevin Sloan and David McKnight. Wolfe is the reigning Mountain West Conference player of the week. Sloan has a perfect 7-0 record in 17 appearances. McKnight leads the team with six saves and is a candidate for the NCAA Stopper of the Year Award.

Last month BYU split a two-game series in Eastern Washington against Gonzaga and played home games in Provo against Washington and Washington State. BYU returns to MWC action next week at UNLV.
