Kaden Hollow homered twice and drove in a career-high six runs to help lead Dixie State to a 9-7 victory at in-state foe Utah on Tuesday afternoon at Smith's Ballpark.

The Trailblazers (5-12) led wire-to-wire, striking for a single runs in the first and third innings to jump out to an early advantage. Tyler Hollow doubled to lead off the game, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and scampered home on a Ben Petty-Hull groundout to put DSU on the board. Then in the DSU third, Jake Engel drove in Kaden Hollow with a two-out single to extend the Blazer lead to two runs.

Dixie State would break the game open in the fourth, thanks to three-straight walks issued by Utah (4-11) pitching to begin the frame. Following a Petty-Hull groundout, Kaden Hollow stepped up and drilled a 2-2 Matthew Sox pitch over the right field wall for a grand slam to extend the Blazer lead to 6-0.

Kaden Hollow would strike again two innings later, this time with older brother Tyler on first base after he was hit by a pitch, as the younger brother crushed the first pitch he saw from Sox and deposited it over the wall in right to put DSU up by an 8-0 count.

Utah would make a game of it, scoring seven runs from the sixth inning on, including a four-run eighth inning rally that trimmed the Blazer cushion to 9-7. However that would be as close as the Utes would get as senior closer Brayden Bonner (S, 2) came on to record a strikeout to end the Utah eighth, and would punch out two more Utes while working around an error and a double in the ninth to close out the win.

Kaden Hollow finished the day with a career-high four hits (4-for-5) to go with his first collegiate two-homer day and his career-best RBI total. Meanwhile Lane Pritchard went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and Engel finished with two hits, though DSU was outhit by the Utes, 13-10. The win also marked the 400th-career game for Head Coach Chris Pfatenhauer (259-140-1) in the Trailblazer dugout.

Dixie State continues its season-long nine-game road swing this weekend with a four-game WAC series at Sacramento State.
