RBI on bunt single keeps Utah afloat in NCAA softball tournament

The University of Utah softball team scored on a bunt single to defeat Morgan State 1-0 in a rain-delayed NCAA tournament elimination game Saturday in Durham, N.C.

The Utes (35-21) scored the game’s only run in the bottom of the third inning. With one out, Shelbi Ortiz singled to shortstop and advanced to second base on an error. Ortiz moved to third base when Aliya Belarde grounded out. Haley Denning then laid down a bunt single to drive in Ortiz for the game’s only run.

Utah pitcher Sarah Ladd (10-7) held the Bears (35-20) to four hits over six scoreless to earn the win, and Mariah Lopez got the save by working the seventh.

The game was delayed by rain for three hours in the bottom of the seventh.

Utah left fielder Denning was 3 for 3 at the plate, and shortstop Shonty Passi was 2 for 3. The Utes had eight hits, and the Bears four.

Utah will face South Carolina in an elimination game on Sunday (time TBD), with the winner facing Duke for the Durham Regional title.

He walked to the front of the room on two surgically repaired knees along with edge rusher Edefuan Ulofoshio and delivered a message. The new year was five hours away. Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus.

They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready.
