The UTEP Miners (10-23, 4-12) held on to defeat Utah Valley Wolverines (20-26, 5-10) in its last home game of the season at Helen of Troy Field.
In the bottom of the second inning, the Miners scored its first runs of the game. Graduating seniors Bryanna Molina and Illena Santos led off with back-to-back singles setting up two runners in scoring position. Sophomore catcher Katrina Somoza then proceeded to hit her first home run of her career of former Miner pitcher Devyn Cretz, driving in three runs to give the Miners an early 3-0 lead.
After a one-out double by Utah’s Madison Carr, junior third baseman Kasey Flores overthrew first base for her 11th error of the season, setting up a runner on first and third with one out.
