IDAHO FALLS — For roughly three-quarters of the season, the bullpen was the glaring weakness for the Idaho Falls Chukars.
Through their struggles, manager Troy Percival repeatedly mentioned health as a primary cause for concern with his relief corps. That group is healthy now, and they are pitching like it.
Four relievers combined to toss 7 scoreless innings Wednesday night, allowing just two hits along the way and driving the Chukars (53-39, 26-19) to an 11-4 victory over the Glacier Range Riders (38-55, 21-24) at Melaleuca Field.
Starter Connor Harrison (ND, 7-8) struggled, posting his shortest outing since July 12. The lefty went just 3 innings, surrendering four runs but handing off a 6-4 lead to the bullpen, thanks to some early offense.
