After dropping the first game of the season, the University of Utah baseball team quickly turned things around going on a five-game winning streak that included a 12-0 shutout game against Ohio State, but it has been a different story as of late. Positive outcomes like that are not being produced in conference play or the midweek games, and it’s causing problems.
Looking at midweek games alone, the Utes are 0-3 after falling to Nevada, Utah Valley and most recently BYU. Head coach Bill Kinneberg has expressed how difficult these games can be to play due to the fact that the team is just coming off a weekend series and getting ready for another one, but it is still no excuse.
