In the top of the first inning, Jordan McMahon reached base and Abby Grundy moved into scoring position before a wild pitch brought home the game’s first run. Kiaira Smith followed with a two-run double, while Victoria Rey added an RBI single. McMahon later hit a three-run triple to right field, giving Weber State a commanding 7-0 lead after one inning.
Idaho State responded quickly in the second inning by hitting three home runs and scoring five runs to narrow Weber State’s lead to two.
