BOISE, Idaho - The Fresno State softball team dropped a tight contest to Boise State on Saturday in the second game of their three-game series at Dona Larsen Park. Another sixth inning rally by the Broncos proved to be the difference maker, as Boise State took game two by a final of 3-2.

Fresno State tied things up in the fourth, taking advantage of some aggressive base-running by Natalie Elias. Elias went first to third on a sacrifice bunt by Alyssa Rebolledo before making her way to home plate after Larissa Flores was caught stealing.
For the second straight game, the Broncos took the lead in the sixth inning. An RBI single through the left side gave Boise State a 2-1 lead. The Broncos added their third run of the game off a wild pitch with one out, as Boise State carried a 3-1 lead into the seventh.
