San Jose, Calif.--Another close one proved to go the Spartans way as the Utes fell to San Jose State, 2-1, in extra innings on Monday afternoon in game two of a doubleheader. The loss drops the Utes to 7-13 on the year and bumps the Spartans to 12-15. Utah now travels to Stockton, Calif., to face Illinois-Chicago and Pacific tomorrow morning.
It was a pitchers' duel through 7.0 innings of play as both team's were held scoreless. In the eighth, Utah marked up the scoreboard with a run after Jackie Wong, who started on second because of the tie-breaker rule, advanced to third on a single by Niki Hayhurst and then scored on a single by Melissa Stahnke. The Spartans answered in the bottom of the inning with two runs, both of which were unearned. Overall, Utah committed three errors in the game.
Heather Bowlin falls to 2-7 on the season after allowing two runs (none earned) in 7.1 innings, while striking out three. Hayhurst and Ivette Hernandez piloted the Utes with two hits apiece. Masie Ota scrapped a hit and moved her hitting streak to five games.
