Utah softball wins after walk-off single over BYU to advance to Regional Final

The Utah softball team won in thrilling fashion over BYU on Friday afternoon at Dumke Family Softball Stadium by a score of 3-2. A walk-off single by Hailey Hilburn brought around pinch-runner Aubrey Peterson in the bottom of the seventh for the game winning run.

Utah entered the final frame trailing by a run, but Bridget Castro singled to lead off the inning, her second hit of the game, and was followed by a Heather Bowen double that tied the score. After a pair of substitutions, Hilburn provided the thrilling ending.

BYU opened up the scoring in the second after a walk and Alexa Strid gave the Cougars a 1-0 lead with a single.
