In an exciting three-game series at Smith’s Ballpark, the Utah Utes emerged victorious over the BYU Cougars, taking the final two games to secure a series win. Despite dropping the opener, the Utes came back strong to outscore the Cougars 15-9 over the weekend, earning their second Big 12 series win after defeating the Oklahoma State Cowboys earlier in March.
In Game One, BYU edged out Utah with a 9-8 win, highlighted by early two-run homers from Cooper Vest and Brock Watkins. The Utes mounted a comeback in the fifth inning, but fell short as the Cougars held on to the lead. Game Two saw Utah bounce back with a 6-4 win, thanks to timely hits and solid pitching performances.
In the final game of the series, the Utes maintained control and secured a 9-6 victory over BYU. Strong offensive performances from Kaden Carpenter and Drake DiGiorno, along with a solid bullpen effort, helped Utah seal the series win.
Looking ahead, BYU will face Utah Valley and the No. 24 Arizona Wildcats, while Utah will travel to Waco, Texas, for a three-game series with the Baylor Bears.
