Four different Demons ended up taking the mound, but Durango could not quiet Farmington’s bats. The Scorpions eventually won the game 18-3.

On offense, Gavin Hamlin had a base hit, drove in one RBI and scored once for DHS. Jack Englund hit a double and scored a run while Lane Greenlee also hit a double to drive in a run. Cameron Lucero had a base hit and scored the team’s other run. AJ Folk had a base hit and an RBI.

The Demons slipped to 5-4 overall with the loss, while Farmington improved to 7-8.

Next, DHS will head to Denver for a pair of games Saturday against George Washington (4-3).

Durango will then host a rematch with Farmington at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
