Pocatello goes 4-0 with help from senior Huston Himmerich
Published at
POCATELLO — After a down season in 2025, the Pocatello Thunder appear to be back in state championship-contending form.
Poky improved to 8-6 on the season with a perfect 4-0 record last week. While contributions came from up and down the lineup, senior Huston Himmerich led the way both on the bump and at the dish.
Himmerich batted .429 (3-for-7) with a double and four runs scored in the four games, despite not taking an at-bat during the Thunder’s 2-1 victory over the Columbia Wildcats on Saturday.
Himmerich got the start on the mound in what was his team’s lowest-scoring game of the week, and earned the win, allowing six hits and one unearned run in a complete game gem. He struck out six and walked just one.
He now carries a season ERA of 2.49 (seven earned runs in 19-2/3 innings pitched) with 16 strikeouts.
Himmerich and the Thunder celebrate the official opening of their new home field, Rails West Field, on Thursday, when they host crosstown rival Highland.
