David Watson got the start and pitched 5.0 strong innings. He gave up two earned runs on four hits.
Stanford got on the board first scoring in the third inning to go up 1-0. They got a leadoff double that eventually came around to score, but Utah limited them after that.
The Utes didn't let Stanford have a lead for long as they struck back in the next half inning. Vinny Zavolta got the inning started with Utah's second double of the afternoon. After advancing to third from a fly ball, Kramer put the ball in play allowing Zavolta to come home and tie the score.
The Cardinal scored more runs in the fifth and sixth to push their lead to 3-1. They added a fourth run in the eighth to push their lead to three.
After the fourth inning, the Stanford pitchers only allowed one more Utah base runner the rest of the game.
