POCATELLO — Jason Jones wanted to see how his team responded to adversity early in the season.

After sweeping Kimberly Friday in a doubleheader to open the legion season, the Razorbacks' first-year coach watched from the dugout Saturday at Halliwell Park as his team bounced back from an early deficit to beat Wendell 9-7 in the first game of a doubleheader before winning 21-2 in four innings in the nightcap.

In the opener, Pocatello (4-0) rallied from a three-run hole to beat Wendell, which scored six runs in the top of the second inning after Pocatello led 3-0 after the first. Pocatello later trailed 6-5 after two innings of play and tied the game 6-6 in the bottom of the fourth on a RBI single from Nick McAdam.

Pocatello jumped ahead 7-6 in the bottom of the sixth on a bases-loaded balk from Wendell pitcher Felipe Paniagua before increasing its lead to 8-6 on a sacrifice fly from McAdam. The Razorbacks capped their three-run sixth inning after Taisom Casper scored from third base on a failed pick-off attempt, putting Pocatello up 9-6.

"I wanted to see how we would react if things didn't go our way," Jones said after game one. "We responded like I hoped."

Wendell's six-run second inning was aided by Pocatello pitcher Ethan Wolfenbarger, who walked four batters in the inning, including three of the first four batters he faced. Wendell had two hits in the inning, but managed seven baserunners and six runs.

Wolfenbarger rallied to strike out the final three batters of the frame to get out of the jam, leaving runners on first and third base.

"Pitchers have to get ahead in the count," Jones said following the opener. "We preach that it all starts with pitching. Wolf struggled with his strike zone, but he fought through it. He battled."

Kobe Holt replaced Wolfenbarger after three innings and held Wendell to three hits and one earned run over the final four innings. Wendell had three baserunners advance past second base from the fourth frame on. Wendell had eight runners advance past second in the first three innings.

"We didn't know what to expect from him," Jones said before game two. "Holt went through some adversity, himself, and settled down."

McAdam had a team-high three hits and two RBIs in the game-one win, while Casper had two hits and one RBI and Pete Jones added an RBI.

Pocatello's offense picked up in the nightcap as the Razorbacks tallied 15 hits in the game-two win.

The Razorbacks and Wendell were tied 2-2 following the first inning, but Pocatello blew the game open with an eight-run second inning and an 11-run third.

In the nightcap, 10 Razorbacks had at least one hit and nine Razorbacks had one or more RBIs. Wendell walked eight batters in the game-two loss, helping jumpstart the Razorbacks' offense, which is averaging 16 runs per game this season. Easton Eddie, Braxton Wilhelm and Holt had two hits and two RBIs each in game two.

Pocatello has scored 16 or more runs three time this season.

"Our hitting is the strength of our ball club," Jones said after game one. "We are a hitting team. That is our model right now."
