Nielsen hit a leadoff double in the 5th and we couldn't get him over, let alone in to score. :wallbash:

[EutawStUtesFan]

Utes score on a WP followed by and RBI single by Nielsen. 4-2 Cal.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Eppard with an rbi single

[Jarid in Cedar]

Time for armijo to dial up the long ball

[EutawStUtesFan]

Eppard with an RBI single, Utes cut the lead to 1, 4-3 Cal, bases loaded, 1 out bottom of the 6th

[Jarid in Cedar]

Time for armijo to dial up the long ball

2 rbi.single works as well :D

[EutawStUtesFan]

Inning ends on double play, Utes score 5 in the 6th to lead Cal 5-4.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Nice to see some offense from this team especially in PAC-12 play. Watrous needs to limit the hits here.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Watrous needs one more scoreless, then on to Chapman to close it out

[EutawStUtesFan]

Watrous needs one more scoreless, then on to Chapman to close it out

Watrous is done, from what I could get from the online feed Rezac is coming in.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Watrous is done, from what I could get from the online feed Rezac is coming in.

Yep

[Jarid in Cedar]

Rezac threw some gasoline onto that small smoldering spark.

[EutawStUtesFan]

2 two out RBIs Cal takes the lead, poor defense, both runs scored from 1st. 6-5 Cal bottom of the 7th.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Can we please stop with the bunts.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Tough loss, hoping for a better start. Utes fall 9-5. Excited to make it up there tomorrow, going to be a fun day at the ballpark.

[Jarid in Cedar]

I don't know why we keep walking Rezac out there when the game is on the line. I get that the the runs were unearned, but sometimes you just got to get an out. 10 batters faced, 4 hits, 2 hbp, 6 baserunners that were his responsibility

[EutawStUtesFan]

About ready to start here at Spring Mobile Ballpark. Joe Pond with the start.

[EutawStUtesFan]

After getting the lead off batter, Joe has walked 1 and given up two hits a single and a double, Cal leads 1-0.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Big K to retire the side, Cal left runners on 2nd and 3rd. Cal leads 1-0 bottom of the 1st.

[EutawStUtesFan]

We're playing teams that can hit the ball and we're playing small ball. Yagi with a sac bunt moves Davis to 2nd.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Déjà vu all over again. Pond gets lead off batter out walks 2nd gives up a hit.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Utes Load the bases on a Kody Davis Error, Pond Ks next gives up a grand slam, Cal leads 5-0. Kody muffed a routine play that was a potential dbl play, cost the Utes. Top of the 2nd ends on a pop up to 3rd baseman.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Relf with an RBI triple, Scaggari grounds out to SS to end the inning, 5-1 Cal leads.

[EutawStUtesFan]

3rd straight inning Pond gets the lead off batter out, walks 2nd and gives up a hit to the 3rd.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Pond finally pitches a scoreless inning. With runners on 2nd and 3rd Pond gets the next 2 batters. 5-1 bottom of the 3rd.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Cal retires the side in order. 5-1 Cal, on to the 4th.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Ben Mordini warming up in the bullpen. Pond gave up a lead off dbl, Kd next.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Cal scores on a WP, 6-1 2 out top of the 4th. Pond with another walk. Young catches the runner stealing 2nd. Bottom of the 4th Nielsen up to bat.

That's probably it for Pond.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Nielsen with a lead off dbl, pulled up rounding 1st and limped into 2nd, says he is okay.

Must be okay cause he then steals 3rd.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Utes can't do anything with RISP. Pond to start the 5th.

West is now warming up along with Mordini.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Big 8-3 dbl play.

[EutawStUtesFan]

After the dbl play Pond puts the next 2 on, Scaggari with a great stop at SS, throw not in time, runner scores from 3rd.

Next play Scaggari can't hang on to it, charged as E6, bases loaded 2 out.


Defense finally makes a play to end the inning with bases loaded

Pond has pitched 5 complete innings, I would be surprised if he stars the 6th.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Relf with a lead off dbl.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Yagi with an RBI single, scores Relf from 3rd. 2 out Cal leads 7-2, bottom of the 5th.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Stupid! Yagi gets caught in a run down trying to steal 2nd to end the inning.

West is on the mound to start the 6th.

[EutawStUtesFan]

I think the last time West pitched was against UC Davis, been awhile.

[EutawStUtesFan]

West with some great pitching, retires the side in order, all GO.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Carroll with a lead off triple, hope we can bring him in.

And as I'm typing Nielsen hits an RBI dbl.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Wow, Rezac with a solid hit to left 3rd base coach holds up Nielsen, could have easily scored.

One difference between the Utes and Cal, Cal is more aggressive running the bases. No reason not to send Nielsen.

Cal with a pitching change.


7-3 Cal.

[EutawStUtesFan]

What's interesting is we will waste outs bunting but we won't force a play at the plate.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Smith trying to bunt, the ball looked like it deflects up into his face. He's okay, awarded the base. No PR for Smith.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Bases loaded 1 out, Relf pops out. We need to advantage of these situations.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Scaggari reaches on a E6, runner scores, 7-4, 2 out bases loaded.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Ground out to the pitcher to end the inning. Too many missed opportunities. 7-4 Cal top of the 7th.

Carroll with a terrible throw to 1st, almost went int the stands. 3rd error for the Utes. Defensive play is hurting us.

[EutawStUtesFan]

West gives up back-to-back RBI singles, both through the SS and 3B hole before ending the inning on a 6-4-3 dbl play.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Yagi with the HR, cuts the lead 9-5.

[EutawStUtesFan]

On to the 8th, Nick Green on the mound. Difference in this game is that Kody Davis error in the 2nd that should of ended the inning, following play a grand slam. 9-5 Cal.

[EutawStUtesFan]

3 up 3 down for Green. B8 Cal leads 9-5.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Thanks for doing the play by play. I have been away from my computer, and flash doesn't work on my phone :(

[EutawStUtesFan]

Green retires the side in order, on to the B9, come on offense we need this win.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Kody Davis with the lead off walk, 0 out.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Yagi PO to LF, 1 out B9.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Carroll with a single to LF, runners on 2nd and 1st, 1 out.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Trey Nielsen SO on a 2-2 pitch, Rezac FO to LF to end the game, Cal wins it 9-5.

To many costly errors, didn't make the plays when we needed to.

[EutawStUtesFan]

Thanks for doing the play by play. I have been away from my computer, and flash doesn't work on my phone :(

No problem, it was fun to be back at the ballpark despite the loss.

We have a long way to go to compete in the PAC-12, these teams don't make many mistakes. We had as many hits as Cal, difference was our errors especially in the 2nd when we had a chance to end the inning, ensuing play resulted in a grand slam.

[EutawStUtesFan]

From what I got off Twitter, Utes lead 2-0 B1. Dalton Carroll with the start.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Better start today. Nielsen with an rbi double as well. Trey is starting to regain his freshman year form.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Scaggari with a two out triple, followed by a double by Anderson. Big bats are out today.

[Jarid in Cedar]

And another double by Cody Davis. 2 runs after two outs. :clutch:

[Jarid in Cedar]

Tied 4-4 in the bottom of the 6th

[mUUser]

Utah has taken two from the Bears. Going for the sweep at 1130am tomorrow. Despite being swept by #1 OSU on the road, this team has some potential to make some noise.
