Boise State and Fresno State begin their 3 games against each other today at 6 p.m. MT (5 p.m. PT) @ Boise State.   Boise State would have to win all three games of this series in order to pass Fresno State in the MWC standings.  If Boise State wins two of the three games in this series they would be tied at 7-6 in the MWC.

Nevada swept the doubleheader against Sac State who is a pretty good team this year.

Next two series against Boise and SDSU, gonna find out if we’re for real.

Not sure what will happen with Boise State this week.  To say they have not lived up to expectations this season would be an understatement IMO.   They frankly don't seem very motivated this season.  Even the Seniors, other than Alycia Flores, seem to be playing with ennui to some extent.   They seem to play well one game and then barely show up for the next game.   And the decisions on who is the pitcher for each game and not removing a pitcher when they are very obviously struggling are head-scratchers.

MWC SOFTBALL RESULTS OF FRIDAY - April 19, 2024

4 p.m. MT – Boise State @ Nevada - Boise State raced out to a 7-0 lead (with 3 home runs) and then watched Reno come back with 5 runs (on more home runs) but Boise State won 7-5.

6 p.m. MT – San Jose State @ Colorado State - Postponed due to rain & SNOW.   I assume they will attempt to play a DH today or Sunday but their schedules don't indicate that as of this morning.

6 p.m. MT – Utah State @ New Mexico - The Lobos won 9-6

6 p.m. PT – U.N.L.V. @ Fresno State - Fresno State led 1-0 for most of this game but U.N.L.V. rallied and scored 2 runs in the 6th inning & then held off Fresno State to win 2-1

There appears to be something very wrong in Reno.  I write that here because - for the 2nd straight day - the telecast of the Boise State vs. Reno softball game has ZERO audio during the game.  The ONLY audio occurs during the commercial breaks.   Have they not heard of audio during live sporting events in Reno?   And how can they have audio during the commercials but NOT during the game itself?

[Bronco7454]

SATURDAY - April 20, 2024 results -

1 p.m. MT – Utah State @ New Mexico - Lobos won 3-2

2 p.m. MT – Boise State @ Nevada - Nevada won 3-2 in 8 innings

2 p.m. PT – U.N.L.V. @ Fresno State - Fresno State won 7-0

4 p.m. MT – San Jose State @ Colorado State - CANCELLED due to weather.  They will try to play a double-header today (weather permitting) but at most this will be a two (rather than three) game series.

[Bronco7454]

And - for the third straight day - audio during a live television sports event is an unknown concept - once again - in Reno, NV.   Except during the commercial breaks.

so a cameraman but no commentator/sound people?

[bigd]

Boise won game 3 of the series 8-3. Big blow to Nevada’s slim title hopes.

For three straight days.   No audio at all - not even the sound of the crowd / game itself.   Watch the games in a day or two when they have them on the MWC streaming channel.  You will see for your self.
