LAS VEGAS – Boise State hit five home runs in a 14-9 win at UNLV, Thursday.

Two of the home runs came off the bat of Mykenzie Hanna raising her career total to 46, six shy of the Boise State record. Freshman Makenzie Butt blasted her Mountain West leading 14th of the season in the victory.

The Broncos (23-11, 2-5 MW) got on the board first on Skylar Stroh's two-out, RBI-triple in the second. UNLV scored five in its half of the frame for a 5-1 lead.

Hanna and Butt hit back-to-back homers to open the third and cut the deficit in half. Brooklynn Pettis followed with a single and, two batters later, Megan Lake tied the game with a two-run home run.

Hollie Farmer doubled and stayed at second when Stroh reached on a fielder's choice. Chloe Hughes gave the Broncos the lead with an RBI-single and Sophia Knight's RBI-ground out extended the advantage to 7-5.

The Rebels (18-15, 2-5) tallied a run in the bottom of the third before Leah McAnally's two-run double in the fourth pushed the lead to 9-6.

UNLV battled back again with two runs in the fourth and one in the fifth to tie the game 9-9.

McAnally broke the tie with a run-scoring single in the sixth and Lake drove in a run with a single to put Boise State on top 11-9.

Hanna homered to lead off the seventh and McAnally capped a five-RBI night with a two-run home run to put the game out of reach.
