Early Surge Powers Arizona Past Utes in Middle Game
4/22/2023 11:02 PM | Baseball
Kiernan extended his hitting streak to 11 consecutive games
Â
Utah will put this one in the rearview mirror and conclude its series with Arizona in a 1 p.m. MDT game (noon locally in Tucson) on Sunday.
Â
The Utes had five hits on the night and the club's two runs both came in the ninth inning. Davis Cop had a sacrifice fly that scored Kaden Carpenter and Landon Frei contributed an RBI single that plated Jayden Kiernan.
Â
Back in the second inning, Utah was primed to break what was then a scoreless tie with runners at second and third and just one out. But on an ensuring ground ball, the Utes had a runner caught off base in what turned into an inning-ending double play.
Â
From there, the Arizona bats rattled off a six-spot in the second inning, scored nine runs in the third and four more in the home half of the fourth inning. It included two grand slams along the way.
Â
Starter Merit Jones received the loss for Utah. Out of the bullpen, Bransen Kuehl had a pair of strikeouts in 4.1 innings of work, then Garrison Sumner came on in the eighth for his third appearance as a Ute and worked a 1-2-3 frame with a strikeout.
