BOISE, Idaho – Alycia Flores was 3-for-4 with three RBI to lead Boise State past Fresno State 10-5, Saturday.
Â
Flores homered, one of three the Broncos (26-18, 6-6 Mountain West) hit in the game.
Â
"I am really proud of our response today," head coach Justin Shults said. "Our offense was much better and Jenna Bloom and Abby Dowell were good in the circle."
Â
Bloom (6-3) went the first 4 2/3 innings to earn the win and Dowell recorded the final seven outs for her second save.
Â
Boise State jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Sydney Groves hit her conference-leading 16th home run of the season.
Â
After the Bulldogs (27-13, 7-5) tied the game in the second, Hollie Farmer homered in the bottom of the frame to give the Broncos a 2-1 lead. Flores extended the lead to 4-1 with a two-run homer in the third.
Â
Boise State led 4-3 in the fifth and increased the lead to 7-3 on RBI-single from Flores, Jordyn Hutchins and Farmer.
Â
Fresno State closed within 7-5 in the sixth, but Boise State took advantage of two errors and capped a three-run rally in the home half of the inning with a two-run single by Leah McAnally.
