This one came in the form of a 59-20 win over East Ridge and a 40-23 loss to Rosemount Friday night at Rosemount.
The Tigers used the same lineup they did on Thursday which included forfeits in two weight classes.
"To be able to win two duals in two nights while giving up 12 points to each team says a lot about how well we are wrestling," Tiger coach Chad Olson said. "We hope to have one of them (forfeited weights) filled by Friday."
The Tigers rolled by East Ridge on the back of five six-point falls. Jamin LeDuc (106), Skylar Raymond (113), Matt Rustad (126), Joe Liden (138), Trevor Frost (160) and Joe Hoeve (170) scored the pins. Frost's win was the first of his varsity career.
Kyle Benjamin who recently returned to the lineup ran his season record to 10-2 with a technical fall in the 132-pound bout and the Tigers picked up 18 easy points on a trio of East Ridge forfeits.
Farmington won five bouts against the Irish but managed just four bonus points in doing so.
LeDuc raised his personal record to an impressive 22-1 with a major decision in the meet opener and Hoeve scored four points with a one-sided 19-6 win in the 160-pound match.
The other Tiger points came on three-point decisions by Brayden Chapman (132), Rustad and Benjamin.
Taylor Venz won by forfeit at 113-pounds for his 27th win in 29 tries this season. Rustad moved to 19-12 and Hoeve 18-11. Chapman owns an 18-12 mark.
