SELMA â When Clarissa Moreno stepped back onto the field at Margie Wright Diamond at Fresno State memories of softball success quickly returned to her mind.
As a member of the Selma High Bears, Moreno helped lead the Bears to two straight Central Section Championships in 2017 and 2018. Â On May 8, Moreno returned to the same venue this time donning the Orange of the Boise State Broncos, where she is currently in her freshman season.
âIt is so awesome dreaming about this moment. As a little kid I always wanted to play on this field,â Moreno said. âEven after playing in Valley championships, it is cool to be back.â
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M The University of New Mexico Lobos hit two home runs in the bottom of the fourth to regain the lead over Boise State in Sunday’s series finale, ultimately proving to be the difference in UNM’s 6-3 win, clinching the series win.
With the win, the Lobos have won three of their last five games and won a Mountain West series for the first time since May 2018 when UNM took two out of three against San Diego State. In addition, it was the first series win over Boise State since 2016.
A Lauren Wilmert solo home run to the deepest part of Lobo Softball Field with one out broke the 2-all tie and Cameryn O’Grady continued her strong series at the plate with a three-run shot that cleared the bleachers in right.
