The Tigers produced more errors (5) than hits (3) and dug themselves an early hole too deep to escape in a 7-1 Missota Conference loss Monday afternoon, Apr. 25, in Chanhassen.
The loss was the fourth in as many conference outings for Farmington (1-4) who trailed 6-1 after three innings. With the win, Chanhassen moved to 3-2.
The Storm led 2-1 heading into the third inning where it scored four times on only one hit.
"That inning killed us," Tiger coach Mike Winters said. "We gave up three walks and and made three errors.
"In most of our games if we could take away one inning, we'd have a chance of winning."
Farmington scored its lone run in the top of the first when Jake Baskerville singled, stole second and scored when Sebren Baer reached on an error.
Tommy Korbein's triple and Steven Barber's infield single accounted for the other Farmington hits.
Zach Wallace started on the mound for Farmington, surrendering four earned runs on six hits. Nathan Graham came on in the fourth to throw two innings of scoreless relief. Colton Luskey pitched the final inning, giving up two hits and an unearned run.
""We can't contiune to pile mental errors on physical errors game after game," Winters said. "We need to get mentally stronger and pick each other up when mistakes occur."
