Although BYU hit a two-out infield single in the bottom of the 13th, the next batter ended it with a ground ball to first base, which Hunter Simmons handled easily for the final out of the game.
 
Utah was led at the plate by Simmons and Anderson, who had three hits each. Anderson drove in three runs (which included a two-run home run) while Rose had two RBI.
 
On the mound, Tanner Thomas pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings in relief in the victory, allowing three hits and two walks with three strikeouts. Riley Ottesen – usually a weekend starter – entered in the 13^th for the final three outs of the game and the save. Chase Bauerle pitched three innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits with two strikeouts. Jacob Rebar threw 1 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on one hit with three walks and three strikeouts. Trenton Stoltz threw 2 1/3 innings, allowing just two hits.
 
Utah got on the board in the second inning with Simmons leading off the inning with a double and Anderson hit his first home run of the year to give the Utes a 2-0 lead.
 
A pair of hits and an error put BYU on the board for a run in the bottom of the second, and the Cougars took a 3-2 lead on a solo home run in the bottom of the third.
 
The Utes pulled back ahead in the fourth inning with three runs on five hits. Simmons singled to lead off the inning and Zack Moeller followed with a double to center. Simmons scored on Wade Gulden's ground out, and Anderson beat out an infield single to put runners at the corners. Rose followed with an RBI single and DaShawn Keirsey, Jr., also hit an RBI single in the inning to put the Utes up 5-3.
 
BYU had a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth to cut Utah's lead to a run and took advantage of three walks and a pair of hits for two runs to take a 6-5 lead in the fifth.
 
Utah tied the game in the seventh inning at 6-6. Kyle Hoffman led off the inning with a single and three hit batters – Dallas Carroll, Foscalina and Anderson – brought home a run for the Utes.
 
Utah put runners on in the eighth, ninth, 10th, 11^th and 12th innings but couldn't rally to take the lead.  BYU stranded two on in the 11^th and left the bases loaded in the 12^th after rallying with two outs. Utah left 17 runners on base throughout the game while BYU stranded 11.
 
Utah returns to Pac-12 play on Saturday, May 13, at 11:30 a.m. MT, beginning a three-game series hosting USC.
