Minico was led to victory by Jase Murphy, who turned in his biggest game of the season in Friday's first game. Pocatello had no answer to Murphy as he didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out seven over 5.2 innings pitched.
Murphy's strong effort led Minico over Pocatello and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. in Friday's second game. Murphy has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.5 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Pocatello has only allowed 3.21 per game this season.
