Bronco Softball Team Outlasts UC Riverside

Boise State's softball team was finally able to break out of an early season slump by pounding out 18 hits in a 13-11 win over UC Riverside last night in Las Vegas. Allie Crump, Tazz Weatherly and Vanessa Alvarez all had three hits while Kelly Sweeney and Alvarez each drove in four runs.  Megan Harvey hit her first homer of the year to give the Broncos a 5-2 lead.  Boise State plated six in the top of the seventh inning to extend the lead to 13-4.  The Highlanders came back with seven in the bottom of the inning and nearly stole the game.   But after giving up a grand slam, Lela Work was able to strike out the side to preserve the win for Crump, who pitched six innings for the Broncos. Boise State takes on Cal State Northridge tomorrow afternoon at 3 Mountain time.
