Utah Baseball Makes History While Punching Ticket To Pac-12 Tournament

SALT LAKE CITY – Utah baseball has had one of their most successful seasons in program history in 2024 and they aren’t done yet.

The Utes reached 30 wins for the first time since 2002 on Sunday after beating the No. 21 Oregon Ducks, 9-7. Utah ended the series 1-2.

Additionally, Utah hit 15 conference wins which hasn’t happened since the 2017 season.

The overall results on Sunday were good enough to clinch a spot in the Pac-12 Baseball Tournament to be held in Scottsdale, Arizona starting May 21.

Utah still has three opponents on their regular season schedule, starting with Utah Tech on May 7.  The Utes will also host Arizona and go to USC before wrapping up the regular season.

Sunday Dub!
