[Jarid in Cedar]

Rough start. Down 4-1 going into the bottom of the 4th. Gametracker isn't working, but live audio is available through utahutes.com

[Jarid in Cedar]

Homer by Hunt in the bottom of the 5th cuts the deficit to 2-4.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Scored another on an error, hit and a balk. down 3-4 going into the top of the 8th.

[Jarid in Cedar]

4 run 8th was keyed by a 2 run single by Eppard. Utah now up 7-4 going into the top of the 9th. Watrous has stranded runners all of the bases as he has pitched 8 full but not got out of an inning 1-2-3. Curious to see if he starts the 9th or if Chapman comes in for the save.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Nick Green is in for the save attempt. Go Utes!

[Jarid in Cedar]

Ground out to first for 1 out.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Walked the second batter. Third batter flies out to Left. 2 out, man on first. Lets close this out! We really need a win here to right the ship after getting swept in Arizona.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Strike out to end the game! The win brings us back to .500 at 13-13. Now lets win the series!

[EutawStUtesFan]

Watrous gives up 4 runs in first 2 innings and then pitches 6 scoreless. Good stuff!

I didn't see the game but looking at the boxscore seems like the game could of been worse, Wazzu batted 0.375 with 4 walks against Watrous but 9 LOB. Good to see the offense come through in the end.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Game 2 just about ready to start. Carroll, moved up in the rotation, on the mound. Carroll has been lights out in Pac-12 play.

[Jarid in Cedar]

0-0 after 2. Only one hit for both teams combined. Yagi's hit was neutralized by a DP.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Damn, another GDP to end the third. Still 0-0

[Jarid in Cedar]

Utes up 2-1 after 6 complete. Trey Nielsen with solo HR in the 4th and 6th. Horrible baserunning cost us a big inning in the 6th. Had 1st and 2nd with no outs, Bennett out at second with a hidden ball trick, Relf caught stealing to erase both.

[Jarid in Cedar]

On to the 9th, up 2-1. Let's get this one!

[Jarid in Cedar]

Ugh. Lead off single.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Sac bunt, runner at 2nd with one out.

[Jarid in Cedar]

West with the K for the 2nd out.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Fly ball to left to end the game! Carroll with the win on 6 1/3 innings, 1 run 5 hits. Nielsen was all the offense with 2 solo HR's.

Ute improve to 14-13, 4-7 in the Pac-12. Let's get the sweep tomorrow baby!

[EutawStUtesFan]

With that win we match last years win total. Two conf. wins away from last years conf total. with 19 conf. games left.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Let's go Utah! <clap...clap....clap, clap, clap>

[Jarid in Cedar]

0-0 after one. Lead off single by Anderson, couldn't get him home.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Down 0-3 after the 4th. Only one hit.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Down 0-4 after 5. Left another runner on 3rd. We need to convert a few of these or we won't pull this one out.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Down 0-5 going into the bottom of the 9th. Going to take some hell of a rally.

So this is me trying to be a great host and a little bit of trying to get my name out there but I created this from taking pictures of the first two games of the series and then printing it and giving it to the WSU head coach before the start of the game on Sunday. My kids and I absolutely love going to these games and will continue to go to as many as we can in the future. WSU.jpg
