Lobos Strike For Sixth Run
These Lobo women like to go deep--lots of homers in the three-game series. It seems like they have gotten nearly all of their runs from the long ball.
#1 Florida couldn't hit homers but New Mexico is blasting them right and left. Go figure.
Pressure now on Boise State to hold them here and come up with a run in the eighth to tie.

Broncos Get Two Leadoff Hits But Do Not Score
Boise State had a lot going on in the seventh, even getting runners on first and third with two out but could not plate a run. Extra innings we go.
New Mexico Ties it Once Again
A two-out homer by New Mexico in the seventh has tied the game at 5. Boise State was two strikes from winning and now they will have to come up with more runs, as I predicted in my last post.

Kreiger Has Done It Again for Broncos
Just when it looked like Boise State was going to blow a leadoff walk, Jordan Krieger's bat has breathed new life to the Lady Broncos.
Devon Bridges led off the sixth with a walk but two outs later, Boise State still had a runner at first. Then, Jorday Krieger lined a 2-2 pitch over the fence and Coach Erin Thorpe's team is up 5-4. You can bet the pesky Lobos will be battling in the seventh though and the Broncos may still need more runs.

New Mexico Scores Again
New Mexico is trying to be the team that breaks Boise State's home winning streak. The Lobos have scored again in the sixth, getting runners or second and third with no one out. A sacrifice fly has given them the lead with still that runner on second and one down.
Zell has walked the next batter.

New Mexico Ties Game in Fifth
The Lobo women have tied it once again, meaning the Broncos need something to keep their conference championship hopes alive. Boise State has two outs with nothing going in the fifth and the game tied at three.
Projections for Men's Mountain West Track
Two Weeks before the Mountain West Outdoor Track Championships and Blue Through and Through has the only projections you can find on the web.
The Boise State men are right now slotted for fourth. With some major things breaking their way, they could be in the hunt for the title as they were in the Indoor season. Boise State is crippled in the running events, where they are projected to score just 44 points to 114 for New Mexico and 111 for TCU. That's a lot of points to make up. The Broncos fare very well in field events but the runners are going to have to get it done for Coach Hardy's team to have a shot. But right now, here are the projected totals:
1. New Mexico 183
2. Air Force 162
3. TCU 139
4. Boise State 120
5. Colorado State 102
6. Wyoming 68

Jordan Kreiger Singles in Go-Ahead Run
It didn't take long for Boise State respond to the New Mexico score. Allie Crump singled to lead off the Bronco fourth and advanced to second on a grounder. Then Jordan Kreiger laced a single to score Crump and Boise State is still batting with a 3-2 lead.

Three Broncos Win FIrst Sets
This is proving to be more of a struggle then when these two teams met. Nathan Sereke won his set 6-0, James Meredith won 6-2 and Andy Bettles won 6-3. Pogostkin just lost his serve and the first set 6-4 and Hume went down 7-5. The three Broncos who won first sets may need to win to get Boise State the match.

Hume and Sears Lose at #2 Doubles
New Mexico is playing good tennis right now. Hume & Sears were shocked and beaten badly. Meredith & Sereke are leading 6-2 but #3 doubles is tied at five. The winner takes the MWC Championship and automatic NCAA berth.

Broncos and Lobos This Afternoon
While we all hope the Boise State tennis team can capture the second MWC championship for the school, those in town need to support the emerging Boise State softball team. The gals have won 28 straight at home and must make it 29 to keep their MWC championship hopes alive. I believe it can be done but the gals probably can't lose another conference game. If they do, they leave it up to UNLV to beat SD State and you never want to let someone else do your bidding for you. After this, it's off to San Diego to settle things once and for all!
