SALT LAKE CITY — For three-straight clashes, the Utah and BYU softball teams played one-run ballgames prior to Saturday afternoon’s NCAA regional final.
The Utes weren’t going to have that again.
Utah scored eight runs while batting around in the sixth inning, and advanced to its second-consecutive NCAA Super Regional with a 14-0 win over rival BYU in six innings Saturday afternoon at Dumke Family Field.
Hannah Flippen and Anissa Urtez each went 3-for-4 to lead the Utes (36-14), who will likely face Washington in next week’s Super Regional. The sixth-seeded Huskies topped Michigan, 12-4 to move into the title game of the Seattle regional Sunday at 5 p.
