ST. GEORGE, Utah – Brooklynn Pettis homered twice and drove in a career-high seven runs as Boise State routed host Utah Tech 16-6 in five innings at the Lyman Classic, Thursday.
Pettis belted a homer with two runners aboard in each of the first two innings as Boise State (8-3) jumped out to an 8-0 lead. She added a run-scoring single in a four-run fourth to finish 3-for-3.

Mykenzie Hanna doubled home a run in the fifth and Ashley Hernandez completed the Broncos' scoring with an RBI-single.
Abby Dowell (2-1) gave up one run in five innings to earn the victory.
Boise State will face San Diego at noon, Friday.
