Provo • For eight innings Tuesday night, the 363rd meeting between Utah and BYU was anything but the typical Utes-Cougars baseball game. No drama, little suspense and not much offense.
Seemingly left for dead, the Utes erupted for four runs with one out in the top of the ninth to send the game into extra innings. But with one out in the bottom of the 10th, BYU pinch-runner Cam Richins scored from third on a wild pitch to give the Cougars a 7-6 win in front of 1,902 at Miller Park.
“The four-run lead felt like a one-run lead, it really did.
