Chukars Keep Chugging, Win, 3-2
The Idaho Falls Chukars tallied a win at Melaleuca Field, throttling the Grand Junction Rockies, 3-2. Starting pitcher Vince Lyons was a big reason for his team's success. In 6.1 innings, Lyons surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 10 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. Jack Masson was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 7 of 8 save opportunities.

Mike Owens went 1-3 with a hit by pitch, while adding 2 RBI for Idaho Falls. The former first round draft pick had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring hit-by-pitch off Ernesto Pérez. It was his 36th RBI of the season.

Owens attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."

The victory gives Idaho Falls a record of 42-26.
