Utes Stage Two Comebacks, But Fall 5-4 in Extras
3/23/2025 3:43 PM | Softball
Utah softball finishes first home weekend with two wins in three tries
SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah softball team erased two deficits, but ultimately fell in extra innings, 5-4, to the Kansas Jayhawks in Big 12 Conference action on Sunday afternoon at Dumke Family Softball Stadium in Salt Lake City.
Utah's overall record is now 10-23 and they are 2-4 in conference play.
The Jayhawks broke the ice in the second inning with a September Flanagan RBI single and they upped their lead to 3-0 in the third thanks to a run-scoring hit and an error.
Utah's lineup made its first noise in the bottom of the third, thanks to a Shelbi Ortiz triple and she scored moments later on a wild pitch. One frame later, Kennedy Proctor led off with her second home run of the season and the Utes then used a single and a sacrifice to move the tying run into scoring position. When Hailee White poked a two-out single through the right side soon after, Reese Lee scored to even things at 3-3.
After a scoreless fifth, Kansas re-took the lead thanks to a walk, a double and a two-out error, but another Utah comeback in the seventh erased that deficit as well. A lead-off single by White was followed by another hit two batters later to give the home side runners on first and second with one out. After a lineout, Jolie Mayfield ripped a 1-1 pitch into left field, plating the tying tally and sending the contest to extras.
Unfortunately, the Utes couldn't manufacture the winning run. Kansas broke the tie with a run in the ninth and while Utah did bring up the winning run with one out, the Jayhawks prevented the Utes from drawing level again.
Up Next
Another home series is on the horizon for the Utes, who will host Houston for three games starting on Friday at 4 p.m.
