The University of Utah baseball team held Air Force Academy to one hit as it won its second straight game at Franklin Covey Field on Friday, 6-0.

Utah hurler Stephen Fife went the distance in tossing a one-hit shutout. The 6-foot-3 righty struck out eight with just one walk. It's the first complete-game effort by the Utes (9-12, 2-2 Mountain West) this season.

"Stephen went after them today," said coach Bill Kinneberg. "They made contact on him early in the ball game, but his breaking ball kept them on their heels, especially from the sixth inning on.

"His curve ball was changing directions on the batters, and that what we want to see. Fife's breaking ball was as good as it's been all year."

Fife's lone base knock came in fourth inning when K.J. Randhawa hit a ball up the middle.

Utah smacked out 13 hits in the victory today. Cody Guymon led the Utes' offensive charge, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored. Dustin Hennis and Michael Beltran were both 2-for-4, and Hennis had two RBIs. Jesse Shriner also had two RBIs.
