LAS VEGAS - In their inaugural appearance in the Mountain West Conference Tournament, the Utah baseball team dropped its first game to Brigham Young 9-6. The Utes scored six runs on 11 hits with six errors and allowed BYU nine runs on 11 hits with three errors.
Utah started the game with a run in the first inning on a double by third baseman Mike Goff. The Utes quickly lost the lead however giving up three runs to the Cougars in the bottom of the inning. Utah was unable to regain the lead falling prey to errors and leaving Ute 12 runners on base.
Centerfielder Sam Swenson led the Utes at the plate going 2-for-4, including his 21st double of the season. He also scored two runs in the contest. First baseman Nate Weese was 2-for-5 scoring two RBI in the game and also hitting a double.
