The Spartans now sit at 7-2-1- on the season coming off a 3-1-1 outing in St. George, the Spartans were eager to continue that momentum headed into the contest with San Juan.
Emery would start early scoring on a single off the bat of Taeleigh Price and doubles from Bralin Wilde and Kaejha Johnson to go into the bottom of the first up 4-0. In the second, the Spartans would score two runs on wild pitches and then Johnson would bring Wilde home with a single to right field.
It was the third inning where Emery would do the most damage scoring nine runs, but most of the damage was self-inflicted on the part of the Broncos and Emery would score three runs off of walks, two off of errors, two from wild pitches and a dropped third strike to go along with an Arilynn Allred ground out single to the pitcher that scored Shyanne Jensen and pushed the Emery lead to 16-4 midway through the third. The Spartans would add one more run in the fourth on a Johnson single to first which allowed Wilde to score.
