A two-run homer from Libby Sugg in the seventh inning sealed BYU softball’s 5-4 win over Utah in the Deseret First Duel on Tuesday at Dumke Softball Stadium.
“BYU and Utah games are always intense,” BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. “This is a tough place to play and they are a very good team. I’m very proud of our players for not only playing a good game, but fighting through the elements, sticking with it and ultimately pulling off a win.”
After three scoreless innings, BYU (15-10) jumped out to a 3-0 lead over Utah (16-9) before Sugg's home run later gave the Cougars a 5-2 advantage.
