Blackfoot barely beat Idaho Falls the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Broncos were the clear victors by a 13-3 margin over the Tigers on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Broncos, who have now won nine matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Blackfoot got a great performance from Cash Dahle as he struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off one hit. The Broncos are 7-1 when Dahle allows three or fewer hits, but 4-5 otherwise.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Griffin Ross, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and one triple. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March. Conner Cannon was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3.
Blackfoot always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .556. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
The victory was the third in a row for Blackfoot, bringing their record up to 11-6. Admittedly, the team didn't face the toughest opposition across those games, namely Idaho Falls, Hillcrest, and Hillcrest. As for the Tigers, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-14.
Looking ahead, Blackfoot will face off against Shelley at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Broncos are facing the Russets at the right time seeing as the Russets are stuck on a ten-game losing streak. As for Idaho Falls, they are taking a road trip to challenge Hillcrest at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Knights have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.07 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
