SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Saint Joseph's used a four-run seventh inning in edging Utah Valley University, 6-5, on Sunday in the Jack Gifford Memorial Tournament at Schott Stadium.
 
UVU (3-5) led 4-2 entering the seventh but a bases loaded, two-out triple by Marc Giacalone put the Hawks (3-1) in front. Taylor Boyd singled home another run that would prove to be crucial after the Wolverines scored on a sacrifice-fly from Mark Krueger in the bottom half of the inning.
 
Greyson Bogden had two hits, including his second home run of the year, for Utah Valley while Spencer Gothberg also collected a pair of hits. Boyd finished 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBIs to lead the Hawks.
 
Saint Joseph's threatened to blow the game open early getting five straight hits to open the second inning.
 
Patrick Wolfe came out of the bullpen with the bases loaded and nobody out in the second with UVU already down 2-0. He got the first two batters he faced to ground into a fielder's choice with the Wolverine defense getting both leading runners at the plate. He then struck out John Brue to strand the bases full and preserve the two-run game.
 
Wolfe finished with 5.2 innings of work and a career-high eight strikeouts, allowing one run in the seventh inning.
 
Bogden hit his second home run of the season to lead off the fourth before a two-out error allowed Mark Krueger to score the tying run.
 
The Wolverines took the lead in sixth with a sacrifice fly from Jesse Emery before another two-out error on a ball hit by Zac Willis again scored Krueger to make it 4-2.
 
Garrett Bowman (0-1) took the loss for UVU while Tim Brennan (1-0) got the win for Saint Joseph's.
 
Utah Valley closes out the weekend against UC Davis Sunday afternoon.
