Box Score

ST. GEORGE, Utah – Makenzie Butt hit a pair of home runs to lead Boise State past San Diego 9-1 in a five-inning game, Friday.

It was the second two-home run game for the freshman, who drove in five. Junior Hollie Farmer and senior Mykenzie Hanna added long balls for the Broncos (9-3) as all nine runs scored courtesy of home runs.

"Our offense was solid again today," head coach Justin Shults said. "Abby Dowell was good in the circle and we are going to need that as we continue to build."

Butt's first homer was a mammoth blast to left with a runner aboard in the first and gave the Broncos a 2-1 lead. Farmer's first homer of the season was a solo drive in the second to make the score 3-1.

Butt drilled a three-run home run in the fourth and Hanna homered to right with two on in the fifth after she had just missed a round tripper down the left field line earlier in the at bat.

Dowell (3-1) went 2 2/3 innings of shutout relief to earn the victory in the circle.

Boise State will face UC San Diego (9:30 a.m.) and Weber State (noon), Saturday.
