Minico came out a bit flat in their first game of a double-header against the Idaho Falls Reds.
The Reds put two runs on the board in the first, and four in the second to go up 6-1 early. Minico starter Chris Joyce was replaced in the third inning by lefty Cody Winmill. The pitchiing change slowed the Reds down a bit, and enabled the Spartans to chip away at the lead. But Minico came short in the end, losing game one to the Reds 12-8.
