In a rough game the Pocatello Cardinals lose a 10-3 lead in the bottom of the eighth as five errors and weak relief pitching cost them a 13-3 defeat to Billings.

Melander visits Pocatello for coaching talks with local instructors, with two sessions planned. Pocatello opens an $80,000 Ross Park pool a week ago and discussions begin for a second pool near Halliwell Park to serve more families.
