Utah Rewind
It took 11 innings at Jackie Robinson Stadium, but the University of Utah baseball team finally found its way into the win column last Friday. The Utes defeated UCLA by a tally of 7-4.
Utah hammered out 15 hits and took advantage of five Bruin errors in the win. After tying the game at 4-4 in the ninth, Utah got things going in the 11th. John Welsh led off with a single to left. Joe Mozeleski followed with a base hit to right, putting runners at first and third.
Ryan Khoury delivered a sacrifice fly to left field to push Welsh across the plate with the go-ahead run, 5-4. Welsh and Joe Mozeleski later scored to make it 7-4. Brian Lane pitched two scoreless innings in relief to take the victory for Utah.
Driving the Lane
Relief pitcher Brian Lane picked up the first victory of the season for a Utah pitcher. He tossed two scoreless innings to close out the Utes' 7-4, 11-inning victory over UCLA last Friday.
