The Broncos took a 5-0 lead and held on for the win, giving them four wins in the seven-game road swing. Kellie Caplan, Allie Crumb, Holly Bourke and Devon Bridges lined consecutive singles to score two runs in the first inning. Boise State scored three unearned runs, one in the fourth and two in the sixth. Megan Harvey drove in Kelly Sweeney in the fourth and Sweeney crossed home plate again in the sixth as Caplan drove her in. Tazz Weatherly also received an RBI in the Bronco sixth.
Aubray Zell started and pitched three innings for Coach Erin Thorpe, with the only Gael to reach base doing so on an error. Lela Work relieved Zell and pitched the final four innings to get the victory. Work allowed three runs on six hits and is now 4-5 on the season.
Thorpe's team comes home victorious
Saint Mary's broke through in the sixth with a double and single but Work received help from a pitcher's best friend--the double play. Brittany Sabatini's two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh made it interesting, but Work was able to retire the final two batters as Boise State won for the 22nd time against 13 defeats.
Bridges reached safely for the 25th consecutive game for the Broncos, who will host Louisiana Tech this Friday and Saturday at Mountain Cove Field.
