Boise State Feasts on San Diego State, 6-1

Two home runs from Devon Bridges, her 12th and 13th of the season, and 13 hits helped propel Boise State to a 6-1 win tonight over San Diego State.


Still, Boise State isn't close to halfway what they need to do this weekend.  Fourteen innings remain in the conference season and the Broncos will have to match their aggressiveness tonight in each of them if they want to wrest the crown away from the Aztecs.  Boise State bunted, they took the extra base, they stole bases, and played exactly how they needed to play if they are to win all three.


The steady Tara Glover was 3-4 tonight with two runs and a run batted in for Coach Erin Thorpe.  Holly Bourke was 2-4 while Jordan Kreiger, whose bat has really come alive lately, was 2-3.  But Bridges got the action going in the first inning with a blast that plated two and set the tone.  Five singles in the second scored two more.


Aubray Zell didn't waver tonight in a complete game victory.  Zell scattered six hits and walked just one.  To put the pressure on San Diego State tomorrow, it will take another dominating performance.


Tomorrow's game will be nationally televised on the Mtn.  How will Boise State react to being seen all over the country?  How will the Aztecs react?  That is a definite unknown.  But it will certainly be a factor.


Seven innings down and 14 to go for the Broncos.  Time to let it loose!
