Thursday, Apr. 21, at New Prague the bats came out of hibernation in a 10-5 Missota Conference victory over the Trojans.
The visitors roared out the gate with a four-run first inning and held the lead the rest of the way. The Trojans pulled to within 5-4 after three innings before the Tigers put the game away with two runs in the fourth and and fifth innings and an insurance score in the sixth.
Dani Muelken paced the eight-hit Tiger offfensive attack with three safeties in four at-bats. Aleah Williamson, Alyssa Kalmes, Alyssa Hagen, Taylor Yousse and Allie Rice also hit safely for the winners.
"It was great to see the five weeks of hitting in the gym pay off," coach Rob Laden said. "New Prague is a good team. It was a good win for our girls."
Ashley Betzold picked up her second pitching win of the young season for Farmington. She allowed five runs, four earned, and struck out four.
