Six more outs separate Boise State from a loss that would eliminate them from the MWC race.
UNLV With Grand Slam of their Own

Boise State Scoreless in First
Boise State got a hit but no runs in their part of the first. UNLV batting.
San Diego State Leads Colorado State Early
The Aztecs with a 1-0 lead. If they go on to win this game, San Diego State just needs to win two of three at home against UNLV to win the Mountain West.
Boise State Golfers Headed for 7th
Boise State is five over with two holes to play in the final round of the Mountain West Men's Golf Championships in Tucson. The Broncos are placed where they likely won't finish worse than seventh, but barring a late collapse by other teams, Boise State can't finish any higher either.
MWC Softball Tiebreakers
If two teams finish the season with the same conference records, of course, head-to-head will decide the league champion. And that will be easy since each team plays every other league team three times.
San Diego State would win head-to-head tiebreakers with Nevada and Fresno State but would lose to Boise State. The Aztecs and Colorado State are playing their third game today which would decide their tiebreaker. Nevada holds an advantage should they wind up in a two-way tie with Colorado State, but would lose tiebreakers with both San Diego State and Fresno State. Nevada and Boise State meet next weekend for three. Fresno State owns tiebreakers with Boise State and Nevada while Colorado State owns the tiebreaker over Fresno State but would lose to Nevada and Boise State.
If three or more teams finish in a first-place tie, then you go to the record amongst the tied teams.
If there is a four-way tie between San Diego State, Boise State, Fresno State and Colorado State, Fresno State is 5-4 against the other three teams. Colorado State and San Diego State are both 4-4 with their one game left against each other while Boise State is 4-5. This would eliminate Boise State and the competition would be between Fresno State and the winner of the nightcap between CSU and San Diego State. Fresno lost both series, so the winner in this tiebreaker would be the winner of the San Diego State-Colorado State game this afternoon.
If the season ends in a three-way tie between Colorado State, San Diego State and Boise State, Boise State would be 4-2 against the other two teams and would win the tiebreaker.
If the three-way tie is between San Diego State, Colorado State and Fresno State, Fresno State has a 2-4 record against the other two. The winner of this tiebreaker would also be the winner of today's game between SD State and CSU.
If the three-way tie were between San Diego State, Boise State and Fresno State, Fresno State would win the tiebreaker with a 4-2 record against the other two. San Diego State would be 3-3 and Boise State 2-4.
If the three-way tie were between Fresno State, Boise State and Colorado State, Fresno State would win the tiebreaker by virtue of a 4-2 record against the other two. CSU would be 3-3 and Boise State 2-4.
So it's pretty obvious that Boise State's chances amount to this: they must win all four games and either wind up in a two-way tie with San Diego State or Colorado State or a three-way tie with San Diego State and Colorado State. Thus, Fresno State has to lose and cannot be in a tiebreaker with Boise State for the Broncos to emerge the winners.

San Diego State Pummels CSU 12-4
The Aztecs once again grab sole possession of first place in the Mountain West softball standings with a 9-5 mark, while Colorado State falls to 8-6, one-half game ahead of Nevada and one full game ahead of Boise State. Fresno State is 10-7, effectively now in second place pending their outcome with New Mexico this afternoon.
San Diego State Leads CSU 7-2
They go to the top of the fourth as the two MWC leaders battle it out. They'll play another game after this one is over.
San Diego State Leads Colorado State Early
San Diego State has scored four runs in the top of the first. The two teams are tied for the lead in the Mountain West with 8-5 records. They are scheduled to play two today.
Bronco Golfers Underway in Final Round
Boise State is two over par in the early going in the final round of the Mountain West Conference Men's Golf Championships in Tucson. The Broncos faltered in the final nine on Friday and in the first nine on Saturday. A sixth-place finish (they are eighth going into today) would be respectable.
