Six To Tie

Boise State will have to bat around in the seventh if they want to win the Mountain West.  San Diego State's bats have come out today, and the Broncos' great season is in trouble.

Crump, Bourke & Kreiger will be the first Broncos to get hits this inning.  Boise State won 6-1 Friday and 4-3 yesterday but with one at-bat left, it's all San Diego State today.



Crump lifts the first pitch to Jordan for one out. 


 Holly Bourke will try to ignite her team.  Boise State should be taking at least one strike.  Swing and a miss for Holly and it is 1-1.  Broncos need to do something to shake up Micetich.  Holly fouls it and now it is 1-2, a familiar spot for Bailey.  The Broncos scored one and loaded the bases in the second but they have done nothing since.  Bourke strikes out for the 12th K.


Boise State down to their last batter--Jordan Kreiger.  First pitch is swung on and missed.  Micetich has been amazing.  She has 160 strikeouts on the season.  Now a ball and it's 1-1.  Two out.  A foul to the screen.  Boise State down to their last strike.  Ball two down and away.  Great eye by Kreiger.  Micetich going for her 11th complete game.


Strike three and the Aztecs have won 7-1.


SD State is 7-2 in conference play while Boise State is 8-4.  The only way the Broncos can win the title is if last-place UNLV wins 2 of 3 against San Diego State in Las Vegas next weekend.


Meanwhile, the Broncos host nationally-ranked Texas A&M next weekend to close out the season and hope they can impress the NCAA selection committee to get an at-large berth.
