Late Rally Falls Short Against Utah
May 12, 2023 | Softball
TUCSON, Ariz. โ No. 5 Washington fell in the semifinals of the inaugural Pac-12 Tournament to No. 17 Utah 8-4 on Friday night at Hillenbrand Stadium.
ย
Lindsay Lopez retired the first six batters she faced but Utah was able to load the bases in the third with a run scoring on a wild pitch and two on a double with one out to take a 3-0 lead.
ย
Utah added a run in the fourth inning on a solo homer by Julia Jemenez.
ย
The Huskies were able to cut into the Utes' lead with the bases loaded and no outs in the fifth. Baylee Klingler reached on a fielder's choice to score Kinsey Fiedler and Sami Reynolds reached on a fielder's choice as well to bring around Rylee Holtorf.
ย
The Utes added an insurance run in the top of the seventh on a one-out two-run homer by Ellessa Bonstrom. The Utes would add two more runs in the inning for an 8-2 lead.
ย
Washington was looking for a rally and it started with Holtorf's third home run of the season. The Huskies were able to load the bases with back-to-back-to-back singles by Sydney Stewart, Klingler and Reynolds. A sacrifice fly by Madison Huskey brought the Huskies within four but were unable to bring across another run.
ย
The Huskies wait to see where they are selected in the 2023 Softball Selection Show which will air on Sunday, May 14 at 4 p.m. PT on ESPN2.
