Show /port/ BI2 Owlz win again FromOWLZ-Bli ahead early with an RBI double from Kurt Mertins and a two-run homer from Chris McConnell. Idaho Falls starter Josh Cribb pitched three perfect innings to start off the game but ended up giving up six hits and four runs before his night ended in the sixth inning. Idaho Falls scored again in the fourth when right fielder O.D. Gonzalez hit a solo shot to leftfield.The Chukars added two more in the top of the sixth but couldn 't manage to keep the Owlz from rallying again. In the bottom of the sixth Orem's Brewer. 2-4 batting on the night, got a lead-off single for the third inning in a row for the Owlz. In the two previous innings Orem failed to advance the runner but the next batter for the Owlz. Darrell Sales, singled as well. The two runners advanced on a ground out. Bourjos drove both guys in on a single that went just past first base into the outfield. Chris Pettit cleared the bases and brought the Owlz to within two runs with a two run homer before the Chukars could get out of the inning. Orem improved their record to 12-4 on the second half of the Pioneer League season and still leads the Southern Division. Idaho Falls dropped to 6-10 and has a lot of work to do to make the playoffs after losing the first half of the season by just a game. The Chukars have to finish with a better record than Casper and Ogden who are 6-10 and 8-8, respectively. "You just ride the wave. That's a win I will remember especially on your birthday," Kotchman said before he showed reporters what he was really happy about; a picture of his wife and daughter.
