Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (April 27, 2019) - Weather may have affected the No. 7 Salt Lake Community College softball team on Saturday, affecting the program's ability to conclude a doubleheader on Friday against Snow College.

The way SLCC is playing right now, nothing will stop the Bruins as Salt Lake finished up game two of the series with a dominant 9-1 performance in the morning by sweeping the afternoon's games with victories of 9-7 and 20-2.
