Rancho had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 16-run drubbing they dealt Durango on Tuesday. The Rams put the hurt on the Trailblazers with a sharp 17-1 victory. Considering the Rams have won seven matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
