Huskies come alive in 7th, sweep Utah

Through six innings, Washington was unable to figure anything out against Utah pitcher Josh Lapiana.

That all changed in the seventh.

An error allowed the Huskies to tie the score, and the next batter, Willie MacIver, hit a long home run to key a 4-1 win over the Utes on Sunday and complete a series sweep at Husky Ballpark.

Washington improved to 12-6 and 3-0 in the Pac-12. Utah fell to 9-8 and 0-3. It was the first time Washington has opened conference play with a sweep since doing it against Washington State in Pullman in 2007.
