LAST TIME OUT

 They followed up the series win with a 15-11 win over BYU on Monday. Utah Valley used a nine-run seventh inning to come from behind and earn the win. Cole Jordan finished 2-for-2 with four walks to reach base six times. His second-inning Grand Slam put UVU up 4-0 and set the tone offensively in the win.
