Durango put their dominant pitcher on display in the team's third consecutive shutout on Wednesday. They never let the Valley Vikings get on the board and left with a 16-0 win. The Trailblazers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by six runs or more this season.

Aiden Farrell made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing four bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Durango let Jayden Shuford and Carson Crosby run wild. Shuford scored two runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-3, while Crosby went 1-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. Those three stolen bases gave Shuford a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Chris Turner, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.

Durango's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 14-6. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Valley, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-8.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Durango will host Eldorado at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Valley, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Western at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
