Fresno State shocked 12th-ranked Hawaii 9-3 Friday to advance to the championship of the Western Athletic Conference softball tournament at Bulldog Diamond.
Nicole Willis hit her ninth homer and Robin Mackin pitched an eight-hitter with seven strikeouts.
The second-seeded Bulldogs (45-16) will face either No. 1 Hawaii or No. 4 Nevada at 2 p.m. today for the title. Unbeaten Fresno State needs one win to capture its second WAC tournament championship.
Fresno State chased WAC Pitcher of the Year, Kate Robinson, in the third inning. Robison allowed five runs on five hits.
The Bulldogs took a 3-0 lead in the first and had a 6-3 advantage through five innings. Hawaii scored an unearned run in the sixth, but Fresno State answered in its half with three decisive runs.
Willis went 3 for 3 with a double, the homer and two RBIs. It was her second homer of the tournament. Mackin had three hits and drove in two runs. Lisamarie Coronado and Shannon Garvin each added two RBIs.
In the day's second game, Nevada eliminated San Jose State 2-1 to get its shot at Hawaii later in the day.
