McAnelly Goes the Distance but Utes Fall in Pitcher's Duel at SJSU

Sophomore strikes out eight despite 2-1 setback in series opener
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Colter McAnelly went eight strong innings on the mound and Core Jackson hit his second home run of the season, but the Utah baseball team fell 2-1 to San Jose State in a series-opening pitcher's duel at Excite Ballpark on Friday.
McAnelly struck out eight Spartans while scattering six hits to lower his season ERA to 2.16 for the Utes (10-3). Jackson's solo home run to right in the sixth pulled Utah within a run, but six runners were left stranded, including three that could have accounted for the potential game-tying run.
Utah had its best chance to knot the score in the eighth. Matt Flaharty singled and stole second to put a runner in scoring position with two down until a strikeout ended the threat.
Austen Roellig and Jake Long added base hits for the Utes as they could only register the Jackson extra-base hit on the afternoon.
Next Up
Utah returns to Excite Field for game two of the series vs. San Jose State with first pitch on Saturday scheduled for 3 p.m. MT.
