FARMINGTON — Even after a blazing fast start, Piedra Vista’s bats didn’t drop their guard against Farmington in Saturday’s District 2-5A twin bill.

After a seven-run outburst led to a 7-3 Panthers win in Game 1, Carson Davis’ walk-off three-run double capped off a 12-11 comeback win for PV in Game 2.

The Panthers overcame a 10-2 deficit in the nightcap game to secure the sweep.

In Game 1, a triple by leadoff hitter Nate Swarts triggered PV’s seven-run barrage in the first inning. Matt Swarts and Davis both drive in a pair of runs soon after to put the game away.

Despite trailing 10-2 after three innings in Game 2, PV knocked in some deeper shots and gradually clawed back.

FHS led 11-9 with one out left in the bottom of the seventh, but PV managed to load the bases. From there, Davis crushed it and unloaded the bases.

PV (13-7, 3-1) will host Cherokee Trail, Colorado at 11 a.m. Friday, while FHS (12-7, 0-2) will entertain West Mesa at Noon next Saturday.
