RENO, Nev. – Boise State hit three home runs and knocked off Nevada 7-5 in the opener of a three-game Mountain West softball series, Friday.
The Broncos (27-19, 7-7 MW) jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. After a single by Sophia Knight, a pair of walks loaded the bases. Alycia Flores drove in a run with a ground out and Leah McAnally doubled in two runs with two outs.
In the fourth, Jordyn Hutchins and McAnally hit back-to-back home runs to make the score 5-0. Mykenzie Hanna added a home run in the fifth and Flores doubled home a run to increase the lead to 7-0.
"We started fast and that was a key for us today," head coach Justin Shults said. "We played solid defensively and Taylor Caudill got some big outs when she needed them."
The Wolf Pack stormed back with four runs in the fifth and added a run in the sixth to close within 7-5.
In the seventh, Nevada (35-12, 11-6) put two runners on with two outs, but Caudill (15-11) induced a ground out to end the game.
