The Chuks tied it in the fourth via an RBI single off the bat of Grady Morgan.

The two sides would trade runs in the back half of the game as the contest went to the night with Idaho Falls trailing just 7-5.

Bullpen woes reappeared for Idaho Falls as they surrendered 4 runs in the top of the last inning on three doubles from Glacier hitters.
