Anthony Gwynn also contributed three hits and scored twice while McLintock and Mendoza had three RBIs apiece.
Quoting Head Coach Tim Esmay
"As a whole, I'm pleased with our play in the first 15 games of the season. However, with conference starting, this is a new start for us because it's what really matters."
The Series
* The Utes trail the all-time series with the Aztecs 68-14. Utah won four of the six meetings last season vs. the Aztecs.
Franklin Covey Field
Utah plays its home games at state-of-the-art Franklin Covey Field (15,500). The 13,000-seat facility (not including the general admission area), also serves as the home to Salt Lake's AAA baseball team, the Stingers, an affiliate of the reigning major-league champion Anaheim Angels.
Westmoreland Named MWC Pitcher of the Week Feb. 17-23
Righthander Clay Westmoreland, a sophomore from Mesa, Ariz., was named Mountain West Conference Pitcher of the Week for Feb. 17-23. In Utah's win over No. 19 Texas A&M, Westmoreland pitched five of seven innings as the Utes upset the Aggies 4-1 in College Station, Texas. He struck out four batters and allowed just two hits and one earned run over five innings before teammate Ben Buck closed out the game's final two innings.
Jordison Named MWC Player of the Week for Feb. 10-16
Senior first baseman Jake Jordison was named Mountain West Conference Player of the Week for Feb. 10-16 after posting a .455 batting average as the Utes swept Cal State Northridge, 5-4, 5-4, 7-5. In three games played, Jordison was 5-for-11 from the plate with a double, two home runs, five RBI and three runs scored.
