Saturday night in the second game of their NCAA softball Super Regional series against the favored UW Huskies, Utah played with a fervor driven by desperation.
With the sixth-seeded UW Huskies up 1-0 in the best-of-three series and needing only one more win to clinch a berth to the Women’s College World Series, Utah rose to the occasion and delivered perhaps the best game it has played against the Huskies in five encounters this season.
Utah snuck by UW 9-8 to notch its first win against the Huskies this year, and force a Game 3 on Sunday at 7 p.
