TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Utah Softball dropped the opening game of its NCAA Super Regional showdown with No. 8 Florida State, 6-2
Both teams were stifled offensively until Katie Donovan ran into trouble in the fourth when Jessica Warren singled with one out and Alex Powers dropped in a double past the outstretched glove of a diving Anissa Urtez.
Sydney Broderick followed with a sac fly to left for a 1-0 lead and after a walk, Cali Harrod reached on a grounder to short that doubled the FSU advantage.
Utah got its spark in the sixth when Kay Kay Fronda mashed a homer to right, her fifth of the season.
