SALT LAKE CITY — Rain fell and so, too, did a pair of lengthy streaks in Tuesday night’s rivalry game at Smith’s Ballpark.
Utah third baseman Rykker Tom drove in a pair of runs with a two-out triple in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Utes upset the Cougars 8-6.
“It’s always fun to play your rival and come out on top,” said Tom, who hit the game-winner off a fast ball from Drew Zimmerman. “I just happened to connect.”
The outcome snapped a nine-game skid for Utah (8-15) and ended an run of eight straight wins for BYU (21-6).
