Budrow Shuts Down Air Force

SALT LAKE CITY - High-powered offense and a stingy defense propelled the University of Utah baseball team to 19-0 win over the Air Force Falcons here at Franklin Covey Field this afternoon.
Utah (10-12 overall, 3-2 Mountain West) smashed out a season-high 22 hits on the afternoon, and Ute hurler Brian Budrow tossed a one-hitter of a gem through six innings. He fanned six Falcons and faced the minimum 18 batters. Geoff Wolfgramm came on in the seventh to get the save, his first of the season.
"It was a pretty complete game all the way around for us," said head coach Bill Kinneberg. "We scored 16 runs without hitting a home run, so you know we're doing something right when that happens.
"We also played solid defense. Brian Budrow had a great performance on the mound for us."
The team held AFA to just three hits on the afternoon. Budrow had a no-hitter through four innings, giving up the team's first hit in the fifth to Matt Alexander. He belted a single to the gap in left-center field. Budrow left after the sixth, giving up just the one hit.
"It's tough to score that many runs early, and then to turn around and keep them off the scoreboard," said Kinneberg. "Give credit to Budrow. He kept us focused on the game after scoring so many runs so quickly."
Wolfgramm came on in the seventh, and he only allowed two hits in picking up the save.
The 4-for-4, three-RBI effort of Austin Jones led the Utes at the plate, but Cooper Blanc plated a team-best five RBI in going 3-for-5 this afternoon. Blanc got two RBI on a two-run homer in the eighth inning. Cody Guymon, who was 3-for-5 with two RBI, also homered in the eighth. He hit a solo shot to lead the inning off.
Utah belted out six extra-base hits today. It had three doubles, two homers, and a triple. The triple came courtesy of Corey Shimada, his second in as many days.
Utah jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning, and it plated another three scores in third. The game-winner, the game's first run of the game, came off of Guymon's RBI single to left field in the first inning. Shimada, who was hit by a pitch and stole second, legged it home on Guymon's base knock for the first score of the game.
The Utes plated another three runs in the third, but it was a 10-inning fourth that vaulted Utah past the Falcons today.
The Utes sent 15 batters to the plate in the fourth inning, netting 10 runs on 11 hits. Three two-RBI hits came in that inning alone. Blanc and DC Legg each had a two-RBI single in that frame while Shimada tallied a two-RBI triple to the gap in right-center field.
The home team capped it off with three in the bottom of the eighth. It was Guymon's solo homer and Blanc's two-run homer that wrapped up the scoring for the game.
Brad Pingel gets the loss for Air Force. He got the start and went three innings, gving up nine hits and nine earned runs. The Falcons' three hits came from three different bats.
The same two will wrap up the three-game series on Sunday afternoon at Franklin Covey Field. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.
