Coeur d’Alene White Wings (2-2) @ (1-3) Boise Steamrollers

The Steamrollers will likely feel hard done-by at the end of today, outhitting their opponents 11-to-6, but two colossal errors from Rollers SP Curt Flynn and CF Josh Wooten, as well as Flynn’s 6 walks, went a long way to seeing the White Wings score more runs than they did hits. Final score: Coeur d’Alene 7 @ 5 Boise.

Were it not for his error in the 4th, Wooten may well have claimed Player of the Game honours, hitting two-from-five, with a 2-RBI homer and a stolen base to boot. However, if we’re talking deciding differences then Mike Jungers’ 3rd home run of the season, clocking for three RBI (and Flynn’s 92nd and final pitch of the day), was the split between victory and defeat for the White Wings.

Coeur d’Alene White Wings – 2B Branden Boggetto, 2-from-5, R, 2-RBI (3), home run / LF Mike Trask, 1-from-5, 2 R, double / RF Mike Choate, 0-from-3, R, 2 BB / SS Mike Jungers, 1-from-3, R, 3-RBI (6), 2 BB, home run (3), POTG // SP Ken Prochnow, W (1-0), 5.0 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 2 HR / RP Quadir Petties, H (2), 2.0 IP, 3 H, ER, BB, 2 K (3) / RP Jonathan Miltenberger, SV (1), 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, BB, K (5)

Idaho Falls Maulers (2-2) @ (2-2) Caldwell 97s

Caldwell were hoping to start their first home series of the season with a victory against Idaho Falls, but the best they were able to do was to fashion an admittedly spirited, but ultimately failing comeback in the final three innings, after going down 8-0 to the Maulers. In the end, the game finished Idaho Falls 8 @ 5 Caldwell.

Eric Reece, Maulers manager, had to say after the game “getting the W was fantastic, but we relied too much on our first half and Danny [Click, starter] and it became really obvious as the game went on that the 97s were clawing their way back in. I’ll be keen to ensure we can keep our concentration as the bullpen comes through, for sure.”

Idaho Falls – 3B Kris Goodman, 1-from-5, 2 R, BB / CF Greg Keating, 1-from-1, 2 R, 3 BB, double (2) / LF Dave Steelman, 1-from-4, R, 2-RBI (6) / 2B Joe Davis, 1-from-4, 2 R, BB, double (2) / 1B Steve Phelps, 2-from-4, 2-RBI (8), BB / SS Ricky Dean, 0-from-3, RBI, 2 BB / C Juan Argueta, 0-from-2, 3 BB // SP Danny Click, W (1-0), 5.0 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 2 K / CL Rob Williams, SV (3), 0.2 IP, H, 0 ER, 0 BB, K (4)

Caldwell 97s – SS Kevin Stoup, 1-from-3, 2 R, 2 BB / 2B Kurt Allen, 1-from-4, R, RBI (4), BB, double / CF Jeremy Dismore, 1-from-2, R, RBI (3), 2 BB / 1B Florian Rosen, 2-from-5 / RF Vladimir Gomez, 1-from-4, 2-RBI (3), BB, double (2) / C Bobby Torosian, 1-from-3, R, RBI (3), BB, home run // SP Danny Lutes, L (0-1), 3.0 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 6 K


Twin Falls Elephants (2-2) @ (3-1) Pocatello Suns

A monster performance from Suns shortstop Pat Novara wasn’t enough to prevent a Twin Falls side, firing on all cylinders, from taking the victory today in Pocatello. While the Suns didn’t help their case with three errors, Twin Falls started well and continued to impress, with an insurmountable 7-1 scoreline at the top of the 6th. Ultimately, Twin Falls took their third win of the season, Twin Falls 7 @ 4 Pocatello.

With 5 players having multi-hit days, the Elephants were hard-pressed to lose this one. CF Dave Frazzini was a close-runner for Player of the Game (which eventually went to Pat Novara, whose 7 bases weren’t even close to matched), as his clutch base-hits batted-in what would ultimately be the 3-run difference between the two sides.

Twin Falls Elephants – LF Troy Dixon, 2-from-5, R, BB / 2B Kalaika Kahoohalahala, 2-from-4, 2 R, 2 BB, triple / 3B Gil Zavala, 3-from-5, 2 R, RBI (2), BB, double (4) / RF Juan Flores, 1-from-4, R, RBI (2), 2 BB / CF Dave Frazzini, 2-from-3, R, 3-RBI (5), BB, double (2) / 1B Clint Freeman, 2-from-5, RBI (2) // SP Bobby O’Connor, W (1-0), 5.2 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 5 K / CL Nick Lee, SV (3), 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K

Pocatello Suns – 2B Josh Prince, 1-from-4, RBI (4), double (2) / SS Pat Novara, 3-from-4, R, 3-RBI, double (2), home run, POTG // SP Jeremy Cole, L (0-1), 4.0 IP, 7.0 IP, 3 ER, 3 BB, 5 K
