BERKELEY, Calif. - Utah Softball suffered an 11-3 loss in its Pac-12 series opener at California this evening. Hannah Flippen smashed her 11th home run of the season and Anissa Urtez had a pair of doubles as the Utes fell to 22-12, 4-3 in conference play.
There did not seem to be any rust on the Utah bats as Flippen smashed home run No. 11 for a 1-0 lead. Consecutive doubles by Urtez and Heather Bowen brought another run across before Cal even came to bat.
The home side got a run back in the bottom half of the frame when the Utes had some uncharacteristic errors led to a Taurie Pogue RBI infield single.
