Utah Baseball Drops Home Opener, 2-1, to Sacramento State
3/23/2018 9:41 PM | Baseball
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah baseball team dropped its home opener, 2-1, in the first of a three-game series against Sacramento State on Friday evening.
Josh Tedeschi was strong on the mound, allowing just two runs on four hits with four strikeouts and three walks in the loss. Spencer Kevin Johnson struck out three and did not allow a hit in his five innings pitched.
Although Utah out-hit Sacramento State, 7-4, the Utes were felled by seven runners left on throughout the game. Erick Migueles had three hits for the Utes, going 3-for-4 on the night, and Oliver Dunn hit a solo home run for Utah's only scoring on the night.
Sacramento State took a quick 1-0 lead in the first inning. After two singles and a walk loaded the bases with no outs, Utah limited the damage with a double play ball that allowed a run to score before a ground out ended the inning. The Hornets took a 2-0 lead in the third after a leadoff triple would lead to a run on a ground out.
Dunn hit his second home run of the year in the bottom of the third.
Utah had its best chance to tie it up in the sixth. After Matt Richardson reached on a throwing error to lead off the inning, the Utes were unable to take advantage when he was called out for leaving the base early while tagging up on a fly ball. Rykker Tom and Migueles both singled with two outs but were left on base. Braden DeBenedictis singled in the ninth with one out but was also stranded on base.
Utah and Sacramento State continue the series on Saturday, playing a doubleheader beginning at 1:00 p.m. MT. The teams are playing a doubleheader due to inclement weather forecasted for the Salt Lake area on Sunday.
