Boise State Takes Two Away from Home
3/8/2024 10:37:00 PM | Softball
OREM, Utah – Boise State's offense amassed 27 hits and the Broncos recorded a pair of victories in the Beehive State, Friday.
Â
Boise State (13-10) defeated Utah Valley (6-10) 18-1 in five innings and outlasted Weber State (9-13) 12-7 in the second game of the day.
Â
"We started fast and played really well early," head coach Justin Shults said. "We took a good punch in the second game, but I am proud of the way we responded. Our hitters were very patient and took advantage of mistakes."
Â
In the opener, Sydney Groves homered twice and drove in four. Jordyn Hutchins knocked in three with a triple and Brooklynn Pettis ripped a three-run double.
Â
The Broncos scored eight in the second inning, five in the third, one in the fourth and four times in the fifth.
Â
Against Weber State, Boise State jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first on RBI-singles by Alycia Flores and Hutchins.
Â
The Wildcats responded with three runs in the second and one in the fourth to gain a 4-2 advantage.
Â
In the bottom of the fourth, the Broncos scored six times to go on top for good. Pettis led off with a line drive homer to right. Two walks and a hit loaded the bases with one out before Flores tied the game with a sacrifice fly.
Â
Groves walked to load the bases and Hutchins drilled a three-run double that put the Broncos on top 7-4. Three batters later, Abby Bumcrot capped the rally with a run-scoring single.
Â
Both teams scored in the fifth and Weber State tallied two in the top of the sixth to pull within 9-7. Once again, Boise State had an answer as the Broncos scored three times in the bottom of the frame to put the game away. Mykenzie Hanna contributed an RBI-double and Flores added an RBI-single during the rally.
