Â
Boise State's offense was firing on all cylinders, scoring in nine of 10 offensive innings in the afternoon.

In the second Chloe Hughes belted her first-career home run, a two-run blast, and Mykenzie Hanna added her 15th of the year, a solo tally, to up the advantage to 5-1.

The Broncos led 7-4 before putting the game out of reach with a four-run sixth. Hanna and Makenzie Butt each collected an RBI-single and Hollie Farmer capped the rally with a two-run single.
Â
Sophia Knight, Butt and Farmer paced the offense in game two, each recording three hits and combining for seven runs and eight RBI.
Â
Boise State seized control with a four-run first. Butt knocked in a run with a single, Lake plated a second with a ground out and Farmer's triple in the right field corner drove in two more.
Â
Butt singled in a run in the sixth to extend the lead to 6-1. In the third, Hanna and Butt drew back-to-back bases loaded walks and Leah McAnally hit a grand slam for a 12-1 lead.
Â
The Broncos closed the scoring with a three-run fifth, including a single by Butt that resulted in her fifth RBI of the game and her single-season school record 58th of the season.
