BYU baseball defeated Lamar 4-0 on Apr. 13 in a non-conference game at Schroeder Park in Beaumont, Texas. Pitchers Austin Park, Luke Sterner, and Ethan Zufall combined efforts to deliver the Cougars’ first shutout of the 2026 season by holding the Cardinals to five hits and striking out seven.
The outcome extends BYU’s winning streak to five games, which is their longest since the 2022 season. The Cougars (19-16, 8-7) managed four runs on nine hits, including six doubles. Lamar (19-18, 11-7) recorded five hits but left five runners stranded.
“Our pitching was very good again tonight,” said BYU head baseball coach Trent Pratt. “It was great to see our guys throw strikes and challenge their hitters. Offensively we did what we needed to do to win. We hit the ball hard and took advantage of extra-base hits to drive in runs.”
Luke Anderson led offensively with three hits and two runs scored while Easton Jones contributed two doubles and two runs batted in. Parker Goff also added a double that set up an early scoring opportunity in the third inning when Jones doubled home both Goff and Anderson for a quick lead.
The Cougars increased their advantage with two more runs in the seventh inning after capitalizing on three hits and a throwing error by Lamar. Park started for BYU with a season-high performance over four-and-a-third innings before Sterner earned his first win of the year by allowing just one hit through three innings of relief.
Following this road victory, BYU returns home for a three-game conference series against No. 23 ranked Arizona State University from April 16–18 at Miller Park.
