Broncos State Postseason Case with Run-Rule Victory
5/14/2022 3:54:00 PM | Softball
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Boise State tied a school record with its 40th win of the season as the Broncos routed Colorado State 12-0 in five innings, Saturday.
With the victory, Boise State (40-10, 19-5 MW) closed the regular season with its 12th-straight win and set a school record for conference victories.
The Broncos belted a pair of home runs and have hit a school-record 74 this season. Boise State finished in second place in the Mountain West and will await its NCAA postseason fate. The selection show is at 5 p.m., Sunday.
Boise State has swept seven three-game series this year, including six in conference play, both school records. The victory was the Broncos' 14th by run rule.
Taylor Caudill (15-5) won her second game of the weekend and joined Hannah Bailey (16 wins) as the first MW duo to each register 15 victories since 2019.
Boise State jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning on a RBI-single by Alycia Flores, a bases loaded hit by pitch for Alison Seng and a run-scoring fielder's choice off the bat of Serena Huchingson.
In the second inning, the Broncos loaded the bases with one out before a wild play produced three runs.
Kelsey Hall hit a ground ball that was ruled an error, a botched run down and a second error on the play resulted in a 6-0 lead and Hall standing on third. Two batters later, Seng's ground out scored Hall for a 7-0 advantage.
Kelsey Lalor extended the lead to 9-0 with a two-run home run in the fourth. The blast tied Hall for the team lead with 13.
Later in the inning, Jordyn Hutchins delivered a pinch hit, three-run home run, her second such homer this season. Boise State pinch hitters are 26-for-81 (.321) with five home runs and 29 RBI in 2022.
If the Broncos are selected for an NCAA Regional, it would be their third postseason appearance in five years.
