Utah Baseball Opens Washington Series With 6-4 Loss
5/17/2018 3:12 PM | Baseball
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah baseball team opened a three-game series against Washington with a 6-4 loss on Thursday afternoon.
Wade Gulden led Utah at the plate with a 2-for-4 performance, including an RBI triple.
Tanner Thomas pitched six innings with seven strikeouts in the loss, allowing four runs (one earned) on six hits with no walks. Spencer Kevin Johnson struck out four over 2 2/3 innings, surrendering two runs on three hits with two walks. Trenton Stoltz also made an appearance on the mound for the Utes.
Both pitchers were strong over the first four innings with Washington breaking the stalemate in the top of the fifth with three runs on three hits, with two of the runs unearned after an error.
Utah put up its first run of the game in the bottom of the fifth. Chandler Anderson reached on an error and Gulden singled, setting up a squeeze play from Matt Richardson to score Anderson.
Washington took a 5-1 lead after scoring runs in the sixth and seventh innings before Utah put up two runs in the bottom of the seventh to cut that lead to 5-3. Dominic Foscalina hit a two-out single to right field and Gulden followed with an RBI triple that got caught in the wind. Erick Migueles stepped in as a pinch hitter for an RBI double to right center before Washington ended the inning with a ground out. The Huskies added an insurance run on a solo home run in the eighth.
Anderson hit a one-out triple to left field to begin a ninth-inning rally for the Utes. He scored on a ground out before a fly out ended the game.
