Idaho Falls—The Chukars (28-40,8-12) and The Oakland Ballers
(38-30,11-9) met for the second game of a six-game stand at Melaleuca
Field on Tuesday for Cancer Awareness Night at the park in front of
1,822 fans. The Ballers scored 4 runs in the fourth and that was all they
would need as the Californians would roll to a 5-1 win.
Chukars starting pitcher Caleb Reyes threw six innings while giving up 3
earned runs and striking out two. It is the 5th quality start in only seven
starts as a pro for Reyes although the loss takes his record to 4-2 on the
year.
Offensively the Chukars floundered in the batter's box and managed
only four hits with three of them coming in a row in the second inning
with Jacob Jablonski recording the only RBI of the night for IF.
Down 5-1 in the ninth the Chukars got two on with nobody out but a
strikeout and then a subsequent 463 double play brought the game to a
close.
The Chuks can reclaim the series lead on Thursday with Owen Sharts on
the mound.
