BOISE, Idaho – Taylor Caudill came within an out of a shutout and Boise State defeated Fresno State 4-2 in Mountain West softball, Saturday.
Caudill (8-3) took a 4-0 lead into the seventh inning and recorded two quick outs. But, a pair of singles and a walk loaded the bases and ended Caudill's afternoon.
Hannah Bailey yielded a single to allow the tying run on base. Another base hit followed to score a run, but Alycia Flores threw a strike to the plate to cut down a runner trying to score and end the game.
With the victory, Boise State (23-5, 3-0 MW) earned its first series sweep to begin conference play since 2018.
"Anytime you can win three games in a weekend, you have to walk away happy," Bronco Head Coach Justin Shults said. "I'm really proud of the way we fought all weekend. To get up 2-0 and have Taylor (Caudill) get into a rhythm was good for us."
Boise State scored twice in the first inning on doubles by Kelsey Hall and Kelsey Lalor sandwiched around a Fresno State (5-21, 0-3) error.
The Broncos added single runs in the fifth and sixth before the Bulldogs rallied in the seventh.
Boise State begins a four-game road trip with a game at UC Davis, Tuesday at 3 p.m. PT/4 p.m. MT.
