Opening Day and Idaho celebrates its first day of statewide independent baseball with three fantastic days at three fantastic ballparks.

Idaho Falls Maulers (0-0) @ (0-0) Twin Falls Elephants

The first game, played at the Elephants Ballpark in Twin Falls, featured the eponymous home team facing off against the Idaho Falls Maulers in front of a crowd of 2882. Idaho Falls 1B Steve Phelps had the distinct pleasure of being the first man in Idaho League history to score a hit, with a two-out, no-on double in the top of the 2nd, but it was Twin Falls shortstop Ted Oney, batting in RF Juan Flores, who scored the first ever RBI. Idaho Falls hit HR #1 and #2 back to back in the 4th, with LF Dave Steelman and 2B Joe Davis doing the damage.

Nevertheless, it was to be the home team, the Twin Falls Elephants, that would claim the win. They did all their damage early, scoring one in the 2nd and 4 in the 3rd, while restricting the Maulers to the two aforementioned home runs. Idaho Falls 2 @ 5 Twin Falls

Idaho Falls – 1B Steve Phelps, 2-from-4, double / C Juan Argueta, 2-from-4, double / 2B Joe Davis, 1-from-4, home run / LF Dave Steelman, 1-from-4, home run // SP Tim Perry L (0-1), 2.2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 1 ER, 2 K // both RP Arturo Ayon and Bedric Herrera were injured.

Twin Falls – 3B Gil Zavala, 3-from-4, R, RBI, two doubles / C Randy Bell, 2-from-4, R, RBI / CF Dave Frazzini, 1-from-4, R, RBI, double / RF Juan Flores, 1-from-4, R, double // SP Andy Sattler W (1-0), 6.0 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 K / RP Zion Bookert H (1), 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, K / CL Nick Lee SV (1), 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, K

Caldwell 97s (0-0) @ (0-0) Coeur d’Alene White Wings

The White Wings may have struck first, with a run in the 3rd and another in the 6th, as well as outhitting their opponents 13 runs to 9, but a late hustle from the 97s saw them spoil the home side’s opening day as the game ended Caldwell 97s 5 @ 2 Coeur d’Alene White Wings.

Chase Whitley, starter for the White Wings (and cup-of-coffee earner with the Tampa Bay Rays), picked up the POTG award after 6 innings of shutout baseball, giving up only 3 hits while striking out 7, but all his hard work was undone in 17 pitches by Scott Harkin, who leaked four hits, including two doubles, and picking up both the BS and the L in the process.

Caldwell 97s – 2B Kurt Allen, 2-from-4, 2 RBI, BB / RF Vladimir Gomez, 0-from-4, 3 Ks / LF Josh Prier, 2-from-3, 2 R, BB, double / 3B Josh Skuse, 2-from-4, 2 R, RBI, two doubles / C Bobby Torosian, 1-from-2, R, 2 RBI, 2 BB, double // SP Jon Crownover, 4.0 IP, 6 H, R, ER, BB, 6 K / RP Dave Greer W (1-0), 2.0 IP, 4 H, R, ER, BB, K / RP Josh DeBoer H (1), 2.0 IP, 3 H / CL Erik Clack SV (1), 1.0 IP

Coeur d’Alene White Wings – 2B Branden Boggetto, 3-from-5, RBI / RF Mike Choate, 2-from-4, RBI, BB / 1B Luis A. Hidalgo, 2-from-5 / C Greg Neese, 2-from-4, R // SP Craig Whitley, 6.0 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 7 K / RP Scott Harkin L (0-1), BS (1), 0.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER

Pocatello Suns (0-0) @ (0-0) Boise Steamrollers

In Boise, it was the visiting Pocatello Suns that claimed the glory today, scoring four within the first four innings – two in the first and two in the fourth – to hold off a spirited Steamrollers’ 5th, propelled by Dan Jennings’ triple. Ultimately, the game ended Pocatello 4 @ 2 Boise.

A three-hit day from Josh Haggard was notably frustrating for Boise, who outhit the Suns 8-to-7, as he was amazingly unable to convert any runs, nor be converted by hitters, on any of the attempts. Impressively, Jadon Gertman did his job perfectly for Pocatello, closing out the 9th with three strikeouts in only 17 pitches.

Pocatello Suns – LF Jose Tonton, 2-from-4, R / 3B Sam Resor, 1-from-4, R, 2-RBI, home run / 2B Josh Prince, 1-from-4, R, RBI, double // SP Jamie Bryda W (1-0), 5.2 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 6 K / RP DeShawn Magett H (1), 1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 K / RP Mike Gleason H (1), 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, K / CL Jadon Gertman SV (1), 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 3 K

Boise Steamrollers – 3B Josh Haggard, 3-from-5, two doubles / 2B Pat Woodke, 2-from-5, RBI / CF Josh Wooten, 0-from-2, 2 BB / SS Dan Jennings, 1-from-3, R, BB, triple / 1B Brad Wink, 0-from-4, 3 K / C Raheem Waithe, 1-from-4, 3 K // SP Jon Fogle L (0-1), 5.0 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 5 K
