Allie Skaggs' grand slam helps Arizona take series in Salt Lake City

Arizona Daily Star Allie Skaggs homered twice — including a fourth-inning grand slam — and the No. 24-ranked UA softball team held off Utah 6-5 on Sunday in Salt Lake City.

Skaggs' slam put UA up 5-1, and her solo shot in the seventh put the Wildcats up 6-3 and proved huge after Utah scored twice in the bottom of the inning. Utah had four hits in the seventh to cut the lead to one, but Devyn Netz got Jordyn Gasper to ground out to end the game and give UA the series after losing the opener.

Netz started the game, and after being relived by Madi Elish, came back with two outs in the seventh. She allowed a single before retiring the final Utah batter. Izzy Pacho had three hits for UA, while Skaggs and Hannah Martinez each had two. Skaggs is now tied with fellow sophomore Carlie Scupin for the team lead with 16 homers.People are also reading… Arizona will play in a pair of nonconference doubleheaders this week.
