There are plenty of games left to go, but so far so good for the Davis baseball team.

The Darts are a perfect 4-0 so far, having scored at least nine runs in three of those wins. Davis tallied six in the other victory. 

The Darts have had a busy few days, as they played all four games in a five-day span March 14–18. On March 14, Davis dumped Woods Cross 11-4 at home, matching its 11 runs with 11 hits on the day. Thomas Pattison was the winning pitcher, and plenty of players contributed offensively. Owen Talbot, Gavin Jacks and Max Hunter hit doubles. Brody McGuire had two RBI, while teammates Carter Garrett, Talbot and Hunter each had one. 

Davis upended Box Elder 6-2 on March 15, with three of the Darts’ runs coming in the sixth inning. Davis had eight hits, and pitcher Wally Grant had five strikeouts and got credited with the win. Hunter had a monster game, with a double, a triple and two RBI. Kaleb Weaver and Wyatt Horning also had doubles. 

Next, the Darts edged Skyline 10-8 on the road last Saturday. Davis did much of its offensive damage in the second inning when it scored six runs. Davis also added two more runs in the seventh inning as Skyline was mounting a comeback. Weaver was the winning pitcher in this one, and he struck out five batters and had a double from the plate as well. Seth Jarmen had a double and two RBI for the Darts.

On Monday Davis had yet another close game, this time at home against Clearfield. Davis finished strong in this contest. 

The Darts fell behind 5-1 in the second inning and still trailed 8-3 after five innings. But a 4-0 sixth inning and a 2-0 seventh inning shut the door on the Falcons and completed the rally. Hunter hit two doubles, while Jarmen and Wally Grant added one apiece. Hunter also had three RBI, and McGuire and Jaxon Marble each had two. Grant batted in a runner as well. 

The Darts can continue their winning ways and maintain their undefeated streak Wednesday at Copper Hills.
