Work Will Face Rose, Corder & Reifschneider

Lela on in relief of Aubray Zell will have to set the Aztecs down in order in the sixth and hope that her team can get what to this point have been elusive hits in the Bronco seventh.


Rose is 0-2 and she looks at one low for ball one.  And one high for ball two.  Work fires in and it is outside.  Ball three.  Work fires a strike and it's 3-1.  Rose draws the leadoff walk.


Fiana Finau will pinch hit for Corder and Mathis will run at first for Rose.


Crump, Bourke & Kreiger will try to find magic for Boise State in the seventh.


A wild pitch sends Mathis to second.  Finau batting with a 1-0 count, no one out, and a 5-1 lead for SD State.  Ball two is high and away.  The ball grounded, snagged by Caplan, who made a nice throw to Crump for the out.  But Mathis moves to third and SD State looking for the sac fly for an insurance run.


Reifschneider is up and she looks at a ball.  Lela needs to keep it low, but not that low--in the dirt for ball two.  There's a strike over the plate.  SD State did all their damage in the fourth and fifth, but they're threatening here in the sixth.  Work now has a 3-1 count.  Runner on third with one down. A foul down the line makes the count 3-2.  A little flare down the line.  Kreiger makes a beautiful diving catch and able to get back so that Mathis doesn't score.


And here's Hayley Miles.  She blasts it over the fence.  SD State now leads 7-1.  You can't keep her down forever.  Boise State had done a good job on her up to this point.  Boise State now needs to make up 6 runs.  They have the hitting and the power to do it.  It's a long road, but I'm not giving up on them until there are three out in the seventh.


Kala Jordan up.  SD State with 7 runs on 10 hits today, as they finally bust out.  Work has the count 1-2.  Lela sends the fourth pitch in the dirt, which Engelbrecht stops.  Jordan sends a flare, and motors into second with a hustle double.


Lorena Klopp now up for the Aztecs.  1-1 count for her.


I've seen it too many times.  A team wins the first games of the series, needs one more win to close it out, and has problems.  Klopp fouls one just out of play.  Work fires a strike to end the inning.  But two more runs for SD State, three hits, one left, no errors and after six, it's San Diego State 7, Boise State 1.
