Proctor Logs Six Hits, Including Four Doubles, as Utes Split Two

Utah drops decision to Illinois State, comes back to beat SJSU
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Kennedy Proctor smacked six hits, including four doubles, and tied a program record with three two-baggers in one game as the University of Utah softball team split a pair of games on Saturday, falling to the Illinois State Redbirds, 6-4, before roaring back to stun the San Jose State Spartans, 7-6, at the Spartan Softball Complex in San Jose, Calif.
Utah is now 7-2 in 2026 and has won four of its last five.
Utah vs. Illinois State
The Utes found themselves behind early when a single and an RBI double put the Redbirds on the board in the first, but Proctor propelled the Utes into the lead in the second by lining a two-run single into right.
ISU drew even in the top of the fourth, but Proctor supplied another clutch hit in the bottom of the stanza when she doubled in Hailee White with the go-ahead run. Unfortunately for Utah, that lead didn't hold and the Redbirds drew level again in the fifth.
That deadlock held into extra innings and both teams pushed across single runs in the ninth, but a two-run rally by ISU in the 10th proved to be too much for the Utes to overcome.
Utah vs. San Jose State
For the first six innings, it was all Spartans. SJSU tallied two in the first and three in the third to build a 5-0 lead and Utes only managed to scratch out a single run on an infield hit by Mia Gomez. Once the game reached the seventh inning, that changed drastically.
With two outs and nobody on, Proctor and Gomez whacked back-to-back doubles and Jolie Mayfield reached on an infield hit to bring up the tying run. Payton Crank then belted a two-run triple off the right field wall and when Emily Capobianco slapped a single through the middle, Crank came across with the run that knotted the score.
After a scoreless bottom of the seventh, Utah's offense went back to work in the eighth. With Sianni Sakai on second as the automatic runner, Izzy Cruz roped an RBI double into left-center and, three batters later, Proctor snuck her sixth hit of the day through the left side, an RBI single that made the score 7-5.
The task of holding that lead fell to Anna Reimers, who had thrown four straight scoreless innings since entering in relief in the fourth. Reimers retired the first hitter of the frame, before a single, a fielder's choice and a double put the tying and winning runs in scoring position. That's where Reimers ended the night, inducing a popup that was squeezed by Cruz to bring the night to an end.
Up Next
One more date in northern California remains on the schedule for the Utes, who will tangle with UCSB on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. MT.
