Home Run Gives New Mexico 7-6 Win

With losses to Big Sky schools earlier in the year, prospects were dimmed for the Mountain West season and today, Boise State lost 7-6 despite leading 3-0 and getting what appeared to be a three-run homer in the top of the seventh that would have given them a 7-6 lead.  The two teams will meet again tomorrow and Sunday in the opening series of conference play.

Mackenzie Whyte Homer

Would have been a 7-6 game on a three-run homer, but Whyte passed Weir on the basepath.  It results in a second out instead, with Whyte on first.

Weir Single Makes It 6-4

Makenna comes through to score Glover making it 6-4.

Boise State with Two On, One Out in 7th

A Glover single and Bridges walk brings the tying run to the plate in Boise State's last shot.  It would be tough to swallow to lose this one after leading 3-zip.

Sac Fly Makes It 6-3

Two On, Nobody Out in Lobo 6th

New Mexico has a losing record but they've got the best of the Lady Broncos thus far.  Boise State went out to a 3-0 lead, but that didn't hold up.  The Lobos have runners on the corners with no one out.  Boise State trailing 5-3, as those three runs in the fourth are the sum of their output.

Three Consecutive Extra-Base Hits Sends Patton to the Dugout
