The Bears (10-41, 4-21 WAC) got their only run against Street in the first, as Jensen Park hit a one-out triple and scored on a sacrifice fly by Brandon Vaughn.
 
The Broncs (25-28, 15-10 WAC) got that run right back against Connor Leedholm (0-6) as, with two outs in the second, senior Shane Ammon stole second and scored on a RBI-single by redshirt freshman Edinburg alum Edgar Cordon to make it 1-1.
 
The Broncs took the lead in the third when, with two on and two out, senior Alberto Morales reached on an error that allowed freshman Victor Garcia Jr. to scored from second to make it 2-1.
 
That was it until the eighth, when the Broncs loaded the bases with one out. Cordon hit a two-run double and junior Evan Mason hit an RBI-single. Senior Dillon Engelhart followed with a suicide squeeze to extend the Broncs' advantage to five.
 
The Broncs tacked on two more in the ninth on a two-run home run by Morales, his third of the season.
