Box Score
BOISE, Idaho – Boise State finished its season with a 6-3 loss to San Diego State in the final of the Mountain West Softball Championship, Saturday.
 
The Broncos (36-23) erased a 2-0 deficit in the fifth inning. Hollie Farmer, one of three Broncos named all-tournament, led off with a double. With one out, pinch hitter Leah McAnally singled.
 
Both runners moved up when the throw from center field missed the cut off. McAnally took third on a throwing error that occurred trying to retire Farmer at the plate. Sophia Knight followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the game.
 
The Aztecs (31-18) answered with two runs in their half of the fifth and added two in the sixth for a 6-2 lead.
 
In the seventh, Mykenzie Hanna led off with her 18th home run of the season to tie teammate Sydney Groves for the conference lead.
 
Karizma Bergesen singled with one out and pinch runner Skylar Stroh took third on a two-out double by Knight.
 
Jordyn Hutchins represented the tying run at the plate, but she struck out on a 1-2 pitch in the dirt as she tried to check her swing.
 
"We fought all season and I am proud of our team for that," head coach Justin Shults said. "We put ourselves in a position to play for a championship after being down to our last strike (Thursday against Fresno State) and we got the tying run to the plate. You cannot ask for much more than that."
