Utah Softball Drops Home Opener to No. 24 Oregon

Nelsen drives in three runs
SALT LAKE CITY – Kaylah Nelsen drove in three runs, but the University of Utah softball team suffered a 20-3 defeat at the hands of the No. 24 Oregon Ducks on Friday in Pac-12 Conference action at Dumke Family Softball Stadium in Salt Lake City
Utah's 2024 record is now 14-10 and 0-4 on league play, while the Ducks are 15-9 and 3-1.
The Ducks were the first team on the scoreboard, putting together a two-out rally in the top of the first that put them up 4-0. The Utes responded in their half of the first when Abby Dayton singled and came all the way around to score on a double by Nelsen.
Unfortunately for the home team, Oregon continued padding its lead, scoring multiple runs in the second, fourth and fifth frames.
Nelsen picked up her second RBI of the day in the third on a sacrifice fly, then drove in another run in the bottom of the fifth.
Up Next
Utah and Oregon will clash again on Saturday, with the first pitch being thrown at 12 p.m.
