BOISE, Idaho -- Boise State hit six home runs en route to a doubleheader sweep of the Weber State softball team on Monday at Mountain Cove. The Broncos took the first game 10-7 and finished the sweep with an 11-2 win in the second game.
Heather Jackson got the Wildcats going early in the opener, as she launched a two-run shot for her third home run of the season. The roundtripper drove home Britinie Hardine, who led off the inning with a single.
The lead was shortlived for the Wildcats, as the Broncos jumped on Angela DeVries for seven runs in the bottom of the second.
Weber State added another run in the third, but Boise State answered with three more to take a nine run lead.
Trailing 10-3 heading into the seventh inning, the Wildcats rallied, but came up three runs shy to suffer the loss. Hardine led off the frame with a double down the left field line, and Linnea Ketcher and Jackson followed with singles to load the bases. Ariel Whiteman then drew a bases-loaded walk to force in Hardine for the first run. Aubri Chiquete drove in the second run on a groundout, and Brandi Christopher completed the rally with a two RBI single.
In the second game, BSU took the lead with two runs in the second inning, but the 'Cats responded with a pair in the top of the third. Genasee Aman drew a leadoff walk, and Hardine hit a two-run homer with two outs.
Boise State added another run in the third to retake the lead, and put the game away with two runs in the fourth, and three in both the fifth and sixth.
The Wildcats fell to 0-26 with the two losses, while Boise State improved to 8-17.
