Farmington also got a great performance from Brody Evans as he didn't allow a single hit and allowed only one earned run over five innings pitched. The dominant performance also gave Evans a new career-low in hits (zero).

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Ben Marvel, who scored four runs and stole three bases while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Brody Wilcoxen also deserves some recognition as he got his first hits of the season.

Farmington pushed their record up to 6-2 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Alleman, their record now sits at 7-2.
