BYU overcomes Utah's ninth-inning rally, gets wild 7-6 victory in 10th

,

PROVO — It just wouldn’t be a BYU-Utah game without a little drama and some wild moments.

Right?

The Cougars scored four runs in the second inning and seemed to be in command, leading 6-2 Tuesday night at Larry H. Miller Field.

But you can probably guess what happened next — the Utes rallied, tying the game with a four-run inning of their own in the ninth, sending the contest into extra innings with the score knotted at 6-6.

The contest ended in the bottom of the 10th when BYU pinch runner Cam Richins scored the game-winning run on a wild pitch by Utah reliever Trenton Stoltz, propelling the Cougars to a 7-6 victory.
