Chukars Drop U-24 with Late Score
The Idaho Falls Chukars picked up a win at Idaho Falls Park, knocking off the Athletic Club KC U-24, 8-3. Starting pitcher Ken Grant was an essential part of his team's success. The win was credited to Mathis Vial in relief. His record improves to 2-2. Raúl Villegas took the loss. Idaho Falls has an impressive 56-28 record.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Thomas McElroy came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Athletic Club KC pitcher Dan Smith, he hit a full count sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Idaho Falls on top, 4-3.

In postgame comments to the Idaho Falls Bulletin, McElroy said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
