Chukars Make Osprey 6-0 Losers
Sam Howell, who is tied for 7th in the PIO with a 1.16 WHIP, imposed his will on the Osprey from the get-go. Relying mainly on his fastball, the right-hander spearheaded the 6-0 Idaho Falls triumph. Howell got the win, improving to 4-2. He gave up 5 hits and walked 2 over 6 innings. He allowed no runs. Picking up his 1st save was 21-year old right-handed pitcher Luis Hernández.

Idaho Falls used a clutch at-bat from Tony Miller to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Chukars ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Sam has got a slow heartbeat," said Idaho Falls manager Shane Loux. "He doesn't panic or anything."

With the win over Missoula, the Chukars improved to 17-13.
