Boise State Loses to Utah State 4-3

The Lady Bronco softball team has fallen behind Utah State 2-0 in the third.  Allie Crump is pitching for the Broncos in Logan.

(Refresh often for updates.)


Utah State added one in the third to make it 3-0.  Crump just doubled in Holly Bourke for Boise State's first run.  Two errors in the inning have aided the Bronco cause.  With runners on second and third and freshman phenom Devon Bridges up, the Aggies did not intentionally walk her, which in itself is unbelievable.  Then, when she hit it, they made an error, allowing a second run to score.  Tazz Weatherly flied out with the bases loaded, so the score remains Utah State 3, Boise State 2.

Mackenzie Whyte has come through in the fifth, doubling in Kellie Caplan with the tying run.  Boise State has one out with Whyte on second.  The Broncos loaded the bases but Whyte was thrown out at the plate to end the threat--still tied at 3.

Boise State will have to fight from behind once again.  USU scored on a sac fly in the bottom of the fifth and leads again 4-3.  Lela Wok has had to come on for the Broncos.

No luck for Boise State in the sixth--the game moves to the 7th for the Broncos' last chance.  It will be Bourke, Whyte and Crump for Boise State.  First place on the line.

Bourke comes through with a leadoff single, Whyte singles to right.  Runners on first and second, no outs.  Crump was out at first, but she did move Bourke to third and Whyte to second.  Will they do the smart thing and walk Bridges this time? 

Yes, the bases are loaded for Vanessa Alvarez.  She popped up, meaning two outs.  Lela Work is up with the Broncos down to their final out.  She grounds out, and the Aggies have pulled off the upset.
