In the Regional Championship, a rematch of the first game of the NCAA Tournament, the Utah baseball team couldn't overcome a powerful Cal State Fullerton offense that once again yielded double-digit runs off of Utah pitching. The 16-3 rout eliminated Utah from the tournament.

Sparked by an outstanding performance from the top of their lineup, the Utes knocked off the third-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs and earned the right to a rematch with Cal State Fullerton for the Regional championship.

The Utes conjured up some late-inning magic to beat the Georgia Southern Eagles and win their first NCAATournament game since 1960.

The Ute baseball team fell to the Cal State Fullerton Titans 18-2 in the opening round of the NCAA Baseball Championships.

For the No. 6-seeded Utah baseball players, a tournament win seemed out of the question8212;to everyone but themselves, that is.

On Saturday afternoon, Utah did something that no team has ever accomplished in Mountain West Conference history--winning the tournament as the final seed in the conference. The road was longer than most, but the Utes overcame adversity to take the title and earn their first bid to the NCAA Tournament since 1960.

Early in the season, it seemed the Utah baseball team might miss this season's Mountain West Conference Tournament for the first time. Utah was 3-9 in the first half of conference play, losing five in extra innings. It would take something big for the Utes to get back into it mentally.

Quiet, shy and humble: three words that describe Utah's big hitter Nick Kuroczko off the field.

When he's on the field, though, he turns into a completely different person.

Utah put together one of its best performances in the third and final game of a series with No. 1 UC Irvine, beating the Anteaters 7-3.

In Utah's second and final game against the Cougars (19-17), the Utes (14-22) snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 9-1 win over WSU. With three more non-conference games this week, now is the time to settle into a groove.
