🍿 Washington and Utah trading runs

After a scoreless first inning, the second provided the drama. 

Utah got it started with an RBI after Kendall Lundberg doubled to right. In the bottom of the inning, Washington took the lead with a two-run homer from Rylee Holtorf. That marked Holtorf's fifth home run of the season — three against the Utes.  

These two teams have met each other five times this year including today's outing. A tight, back-and-forth affair could be in store for the rest of the game.
