Drew Hegseth shut down New Prague and the Tigers pounded three Trojan pitchers for 13 hits in an 8-0 win Tuesday afternoon in New Prague.
The win was the second in as many days for Farmington who raised its season record to 3-5; 2-5 in Missota Conference.
"We put the ball in play, played good defense and threw strikes," coach Mike Winters said. "The game's a lot easier when you do those things."
Hegseth got all the run support he would need when the Tigers plated a run in the home half of the first inning on a double by Jordan Lugowski and a run-scoring single by Spencer Merle.
The winners made it 4-0 in RBI hits by Lugowski, Merle and Ty Vincent in the third and then scored four more times in their last three at-bats to complete the rout. Merle smacked a two-run homer in the fifth.
Merle had a big day at the plate, going 3-4 with four runs batted in. Baskerville made it five hits in two days with a 3-4 performance and also scored a pair of runs. Lugowski was 2-4, scored twice and drove in a run.
