Chukars fall to Voyagers 9-3, trail Billings by 2.0 games for a playoff spot

GREAT FALLS, Montana (KIFI) - A great start quickly turned into a rough game for the Idaho Falls Chukars Wednesday night, as they fell to the Great Falls Voyagers 9-3 in the finale of a road trip.

The Chuks tallied three runs in the 2nd and 3rd innings on a pair of RBI singles and a run-scoring groundout to take a 3-0 lead.

With the loss and a Billings Mustangs victory in Ogden, the Chukars fell 2.0 GB of the Mustangs for a playoff spot.
