The Lobos regained a one-run advantage in the fourth, only for Boise State to tie it again when Sophia Romero singled, stole second base, and scored on an RBI single by Hollie Farmer.
Stroh’s home run marked her team-leading 35th run batted in for the season. Farmer contributed by going one-for-three at bat with a walk and an RBI. In Mountain West games this season, Farmer is batting .346 with a .452 on-base percentage.
