Utes Dominate No. 21/22 ASU 15-0, Lock Up Series Win
3/7/2026 7:11 PM | Softball
Utah posts largest win over a ranked foe in program history
TEMPE, Ariz. – Shonty Passi homered twice, Hailey Maestretti threw her fourth shutout of the season and the University of Utah softball team scored its largest win over a ranked team in program history, hammering the No. 21/No. 22 Arizona State Sun Devils 15-0 on Saturday afternoon at Farrington Stadium in Tempe, Ariz.
The Utes are now on their first 10-game win streak since they reeled off 11 straight in 2023. They are also 20-5 on the season and 2-0 in Big 12 play.
Utah's offensive eruption started in the second, when they hung a nine-spot on the scoreboard. Two walks and a single loaded the bases and, with one out, Reese Lee ripped a double into right that plated the day's first two runs. After a walk re-loaded the bases, Kennedy Proctor doubled in two more and Kayla Lyon collected two more RBIs moments later with a single through the middle. The capper came from Passi, who hit a moonshot over the wall in left-center for a three-run homer and a 9-0 lead.
In the third, the Utes kept their foot on the gas, using an error and a walk to plate the first run of the stanza, followed by a Mia Gomez sacrifice fly to push Lee across. Proctor then doubled and later came around on a Passi single. In the fourth, Gomez struck one more blow, going yard to dead center with a runner on to make the score 14-0 and Passi added her second dinger of the day with a solo tater in the fifth. Passi's five RBIs on the day represented a new career-high.
In the circle, Maestretti was just as dominant as Utah's offense while improving to 7-1. She didn't give up a hit through the first three innings, struck out two in the first and worked around lead-off baserunners in three different innings. Maestretti ended the day having allowed only a single hit and she lowered her ERA for the season to 1.48.
Up Next
The Utes will go for the series sweep on Sunday, when they're scheduled to meet the Sun Devils at 12 p.m. MST (1 p.m. MDT).
