LAST TIME OUT
The Utes took two of three at No. 23 Arizona State thanks to some gutsy pitching and late-game heroics.Â
After dropping the opener, Utah rallied and then held off a seventh-inning surge by the Sun Devils in game two, 7-6. Bridget Castro provided the heroics in the finale, smoking a solo homer in the final frame to lift the Utes to a series win.
Hannah Flippen batted .556 and led the team with five runs batted in. Alyssa Barrerra batted .444 and paced the squad with three runs scored.
