Broncos Take Series in Reno
4/21/2024 3:38:00 PM | Softball
RENO, Nev. – Four Broncos drove in two runs and Boise State beat Nevada 8-3 in the rubber matchup of a three-game Mountain West softball series, Sunday.
Â
"It was a great team win today," head coach Justin Shults said. "We got production up and down the lineup and Jenna Bloom was outstanding in the circle."
Â
Mykenzie Hanna staked the Broncos (28-20, 8-8 MW) to a 2-0 lead with a two-run home run in the first.
Â
The Wolf Pack (36-13, 12-7) answered with one in the first off Bloom (7-3) and took a 3-2 lead with a two-run third against reliever Abby Dowell.
Â
Bloom reentered in the fourth and blanked Nevada the rest of the way while Boise State's offense rallied for the win.
Â
In the fifth, Sophia Knight singled with one out and moved to third on a two-out single by Leah McAnally. Alycia Flores followed with a two-run double to the gap in right-center that gave the Broncos a 4-3 lead.
Â
Boise State put the game out of reach with a four-run seventh. The Broncos loaded the bases with two outs before Jordyn Hutchins and Sydney Groves delivered back-to-back, two-run singles to account for the winning margin.
