Spring sports roundup: Fresno State takes bat out of Lobo star Howard’s hands

Fresno State’s softball Bulldogs have gone to extraordinary lengths not to let Lobo Andrea Howard beat them so far in their three-game softball set.

After the Lobos’ 7-6 Mountain West Conference win on Friday at Lobo Softball Field, the two teams play a rubber game Saturday at 11 a.m.

Ashley Archuleta homered and drove in four runs from the leadoff spot as New Mexico (23-17, 3-8) won game two of the set.

Fresno State (12-29, 5-9), which won Thursday’s opener 8-7, intentionially walked Howard each of her four plate appearances on Friday and managed to keep her from scoring.
