HONOLULU, Hawaii – Utah Softball smashed its first two opponents at the Outrigger Resorts Hawaii Spring Fling Tournament. The Utes beat St. Bonaventure, 14-1, and Niagara, 10-1
Utah smashed six home runs in the doubleheader and allowed just one earned run. Alyssa Barrera went 3-for-4, scoring three times, driving in seven while Katie Faulk, Julia Noskin, and Hailey Hilburn all collected four hits apiece.
Sydney Sandez and Hailey Hilburn both picked up wins in relief after starts by Chantelle Ladner and Jess Lynch. Claire Feldman also went 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.
Utah has another doubleheader tomorrow starting with Niagara at 12 p.m. HT/4 p.m. MT. The Utes will then play Southern Illinois Edwardsville directly after.
Utah 14 St Bonaventure 1
The Utes sent 14 batters to the plate in the first while scoring 10 runs against the Bonnies.
Noskin singled and BreOnna Castaneda followed by walking on four pitches. After a sacrifice bunt, Barrera doubled off the wall in left center to score the game's first runs. Three batters later, Faulk connected on her fourth homer in five games to extend the lead and Alyssa Palacios went back-to-back with the sophomore catcher, pushing the score to 6-0.
Still in the first, Hilburn hit one to left and Noskin singled. The ball wiggled away from the left fielder allowing another run to cross. After a pair of walks, Barrera capped the inning with a bases-clearing double off the wall in right field as Utah hit double digits. Barrera matched her career-high from last weekend with five RBI.
Ally Dickman started the second with a double and scored on Hilburn's RBI single. After a St. Bonaventure error, Castaneda cracked Utah's third homer of the day, a three-run bomb, for a 14-0 lead.
Ladner threw two no-hit innings before Hilburn matched her with a scoreless pair of frames. Feldman closed things out in the fifth
Utah 10 Niagara 1
Utah struck first when Noskin and Barrera walked ahead of Makayla Hurst in the initial inning. The freshman singled to right for the game's first run.
Noskin reached again to start the third on a hot shot to third base. She would come in to score when Ellessa Bonstrom smashed a ball off the wall in left. Barrera followed by slicing a ball past the first baseman for another two-bagger and 3-0 lead.
Hurst c
ontinued her strong outing in the second game by crushing her first collegiate homer, a two-run bomb for a 5-0 edge.
In the bottom of the fourth, Hilburn started the frame with a solo homer. Noskin and Bonstrom singled before Barrera's ground ball was misplayed, which brought in another run. Hurst added another RBI to her tally with a sacrifice fly to right and Dickman smashed Utah's sixth homer of the day for the final tally.
Lynch and Sandez allowed four hits over the first four innings with Feldman and Ladner retiring the Purple Eagles in the fifth.
This was the third time in four games that Utah connected on three round-trippers. Its last four-homer outing was against Cal on 4/8/17.
