Barrera 2 IP, BB, 4 K -- 6.00 ERA

* Bryan Paukovits was given a rude welcome to A-Advanced ball by the Keys Sunday. They kicked in the door with 3 runs in the 1st and then gave him a swirly with 6 runs in the 3rd to race to a 9-0 lead. A run in the 5th off Brendan Lafferty was just gravy. The Rocks stranded 2 in the 6th and 8th (Eric Hosmer struck out looking to end the 8th and got ejected for arguing) and finally broke through in the 9th as Ben Theriot hit an RBI single and Adrian Ortiz drove in 2 runs with another single.

A double-play ball got Idaho Falls on the board in the 3rd but the Owlz got 2 runs in the 3rd to pull back away. CF Travis Witherspoon smacked his 2nd homer of the game for a 2-run shot in the 4th as he had 5 RBI off Perez. Blauer came on for the 5th and proceeded to give up 5 runs including a 3-run triple to who else, Witherspoon, as he was a 1-man wrecking crew for Orem. IF left the bases full in the 9th. RP Brian Diemer worked 2 scoreless innings to improve to 2-0. Starter Carmine Giardina allowed an ER over 4 IP. Witherspoon was 4-5 with the triple, 2 HR (4), 7 RBI (13) and 3 RS. 1B Nick Farnsworth was 3-3 and three other Owlz had 2 hits. The Chukars are 2-6.
