UTAH NOTES
- Utah jumped two spots in both major polls and now sits at No. 15 in the ESPN/USA Softball rankings and No. 16 in the NFCA/USA Today list. Utah was ranked at the end of the 2016 season, a first for the program since 2000. Utah also matched its highest final ranking ever (No. 16 – 1997).
- Utah went 35-22 overall, its most wins since joining in 2012, and finished fourth in the Pac-12 Conference with a record of 13-10, also a program best. This team became the first one in program history to start a NCAA Tournament with two wins and reached its first Super Regional since the expansion of the event
- Utah currently ranks third in the nation, averaging 9.4 runs per contest. It is also eighth in on-base percentage (.487), 14th in batting average (.389) and 23rd in ERA (0.97).
- The Utes rank second in the Pac-12 in batting average, on-base percentage, runs scored (47) and runs driven in (41)
- The pitching staff has not allowed a home run and ranks second in the Pac-12 with only 21 hits allowed through five contests.
- Hailey Hilburn is yet to allow a hit in six innings of relief and Katie Donovan (3-0, 0.00 ERA) is one of five players in the nation with a save. Donovan also surpassed 300 strikeouts for her career last weekend.
- Anissa Urtez had a dominating weekend and ranks 11th nationally with a .667 batting average and 16th in on-base percentage (.706). She is also third in the Pac-12 in runs batted in and doubles, fourth in hits and eighth in slugging percentage. Her six-game hitting streak is tops on the team and she had multiple hits in every game last weekend.
- Hannah Flippen has reached base in 10 straight contests and surpassed the 200-hit and 100-RBI plateaus for her career last weekend. With seven runs scored during the Kajikawa Tournament, Flippen moved past Molly McLean into third place all-time at Utah. She is now within one of Kate Dickman for second place.Â
- Heather Bowen is matching Urtez in runs batted in and had multiple RBI in three games at the Kajikawa Classic.Â
LAST WEEK
The Utes were perfect at the Kajikawa Classic and started 5-0 for the first time since 2010. Katie Donovan, Miranda Viramontes and Hailey Hilburn combined to shutout four of the five opponents and allowed four earned runs over 29 innings of work
The Utes out-scored their opponents 47-5 this weekend (22-0 in first innings) as Anissa Urtez paced the squad, going 10-for-15 (.667) and driving in nine runs. Heather Bowen also drove in nine runs and batted .375 while Hannah Flippen led the way with seven runs scored and a .462 batting average.Â
