NoCo 13, Grand Junction 10: Owlz' Consistent Hitting Leads to a Victory Over Jackalopes 

After winning the first game of the series on Thursday, the Owlz looked to grab another key victory against a division opponent. Baseballs were flying off bats right from the start for both clubs as going into the sixth the Jackalopes held a 6-5 lead over the Owlz. This lead held until Northern Colorado exploded in the final two frames with six runs that Grand Junction was unable to match. Tim Bouchard went 4-for-4 and Cory Wills finished things off in the bottom of the ninth to get the save. These two teams will battle it out for the sixth and final time on the week today at 6:35 

Boise 6, Billings 2: Hawks Beat Mustangs Behind Widell's Complete Game  

Ryley Widell established himself as a pitcher with devasting stuff earlier in the year when he completed an immaculate inning in one of his starts. However, in this game Widell used his defense to quickly take down Mustangs hitters one by one. Widell finished with a complete game with only three strikeouts and didn't allow his two earned runs until the eighth. Outside of Widell, the Hawks bats did what they needed behind him driving in six runs on eight hits. Because of the great start, the game only took two hours and four minutes, and Boise won their fourth out of five this week against Billings.  

Ogden 13, Rocky Mountain 4: Power-Hitting Duo Leads Raptors to Fifth Straight 

Outside of the makeup game played on Wednesday, the Raptors have not dropped a game against the Vibes this week, with this win making in five in a row.

The duo of Rafael Narea and Dane Tofteland both hit two big flies and combined for eight of the 13 runs driven in. The pitchers weren't too shabby themselves for Ogden as Jake Mullholland went six innings, striking out ten and Chase Stratton collected the three-inning save.
