SALT LAKE CITY - UAB rallied for three two-out runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Utah baseball team, 6-4 on Saturday afternoon.
Utah broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the eighth inning on Trey Nielsen's solo home run to left field.
The Utes put their closer Tyler Wagner in to pitch. UAB put two on with one out after a walk and a single. Although Wagner forced a ground out to put two outs up, Matt Morse tied the game on a wild pitch before John Frost would send the go-ahead run home on an RBI single to center. Another run would score on an error before reliever Tyler Andersen got Michael Busby to strike out to end the inning.
Utah put two on with two outs in the bottom of the ninth with Michael Beltran reaching on an error and C.J. Cron intentionally walked before Shaun Cooper struck out to end the game.
Utah took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning. Austin Shackelford reached on an error and Cody Guymon walked with both runners advancing on a ground out before Shackelford scored on a balk. Trent Johnson hit an RBI double to right center to score Guymon.
Each team scored a run in the third, with Patrick Palmeiro's RBI single to center for UAB, while Cooper hit a two-out triple to left center for the Utes and scored on Shackelford's single up the middle, putting the Utah lead at 3-1.
UAB tied the game in the sixth, scoring two runs on four hits to tie the game at 3-3.
Both teams struggled with timely hitting, as each squad left nine runners on base. The Utes left the bases loaded in the seventh inning. UAB out-hit the Utes, 11-6.
Ute starter Brock Duke pitched five innings, allowing one run on four hits with five strikeouts. Stephen Streich threw three innings and gave up two runs.
The Utes head to San Diego next week for the Mountain West Conference Tournament, which begins on Tuesday, May 24. Utah has a bye as the number two seed and does not play until Wednesday, May 25. The Utes game time and opponent will be determined on Tuesday evening.
