SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Abby Dayton had an RBI triple to highlight a four-run second inning and pinch-hitter Hallie Morris wrapped it up with a two-run single in the sixth to lead 15th-seeded Utah to a 7-2 win over San Diego State for the Utes’ first trip to the Women’s College World Series since 1994. The final game of the Salt City Super Regional drew a record Utah crowd of 3,083. San Diego State took a 1-0 lead with an unearned run in the top of the second.
