Utah Falls to Fresno State in Third Game
2/15/2026 7:55 PM | Baseball
Utah can still clinch series with a win on Monday
FRESNO, Calif. – Six different Utah players had a hit and the Utes plated five runs in the seventh inning, but Fresno State scored nine in the opening frame as Utah fell short 14-8 on Sunday at Bob Bennett Stadium.
Â
Matt Flaharty went 2-for-5 in the game with a two-run triple and scored twice himself. Cameron Gurney had a two-run single among a three-RBI day while Bradley Navarro, Luke Jacobs and Zakye Hawkins each doubled.
Â
For the third straight game, Utah scored first. Jet Gilliam walked to lead off the game, later stealing second base and taking third on a throwing error. Two batters later, Gurney hit a grounder to third and Gilliam was able to score on another Bulldogs miscue. Daniel Arambula laid down a safety squeeze as the Utes looked for more, but Navarro was thrown out at the plate.
Â
The Fresno State offense was hot out of the gate as the home club put up a nine-spot to take momentum early on. The Bulldogs would add a pair of runs in both the third and fifth innings.
Â
The Utes were held without a hit until the top of the seventh when Flaharty poked a single through the right side. It was followed by back-to-back doubles from Jacobs and Hawkins as the Utes netted two runs in the inning.
Â
A five-spot followed for Utah in the eighth as the game reached its final score of 14-8. The Utes reached the first five batters of the inning, beginning with an error and followed up with four straight hits. Gurney drove in a pair with his single into right field, then Flaharty ripped a triple down the right field line and into the corner where it pinballed around.
Â
Flaharty came home two batters later when Jacobs lifted a sac fly.
Â
Anson McGorman started the game on the mound for Utah as McGorman made his first collegiate appearance after missing the last three seasons due to injury.
Â
Next Up
Utah and the Bulldogs will wrap up this four-game series on Monday with a 3 p.m. MT first pitch inside Bob Bennett Stadium.
