VINEYARD, Utah (Interstat) — Quinn Holt struck out nine over five strong innings, and Utah Valley’s offense erupted for nine extra-base hits in a 12-1 victory over Northern Colorado on Saturday in the first game of a doubleheader at Brent Brown Ballpark.

The Wolverines (7-7) scored in six consecutive innings after the Bears (2-15) took a first-inning lead on Easton Bryant’s RBI single. Holt allowed just one hit and one earned run to earn the win.

Hunter Katschke, Mason Hamlin and Kaden Carpenter each homered for Utah Valley. Carpenter drove in three runs, while Katschke and Hamlin each had two RBIs. The Bears managed only two hits total, with Logan Moser providing a bright spot in relief with three strikeouts in 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
