Wildcats Overwhelm Utes, 19-2, to Secure Series Win
04/22/2023 | Baseball
Third baseman Tony Bullard led the offensive onslaught with six RBI, followed close behind by second baseman Mason White and shortstop Nik McClaughry who each had five RBI. Bullard and White hit grand slams, and Bullard has now logged five home runs in his last four contests.
Offense wasn't the only thing going right for the Wildcats on Saturday night, as the pitching staff limited the Utes to just two runs on five hits. Starting pitcher Bradon Zastrow earned the win and improved to 4-2 with six innings of two-hit, shutout work.
Right-handers Anthony Susac and Casey Hintz both worked scoreless innings in relief, allowing just one combined hit while striking out three.

Two grand slams is, like, at least twice as cool as one grand slam. That's just math #BearDown
