Davis

Davis defeated Farmington 8-2 May 9.

“We again had strong defense by our whole team,” said head coach Todd Street. “Offensively, Katie Klauman stole the show with a multiple-hit performance, highlighted by a home run.”

Adding to Klauman’s RBI, Hadlee Isaacs drove in two runs while Rayleigh Starnes and Jewel Korth each recorded one RBI. On the mound, Serena Roth was the winning pitcher with four strikeouts against Phoenix batters.

Against Weber May 10, the Darts won 8-6. Davis was down early and then again at 4-2 with two outs in the top of the seventh inning. “We found a way to score three runs,” said Street. The Warriors responded with a run in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game. In the eighth inning, Roth drove in a run and Jada Chilton brought in another. “They had some errors that helped us out,” said Street. “We always say, ‘It’s a game of 21 outs.’ When we had 20 outs against us, we found a way to win.”

Roth again pitched the Darts to the win, striking out six Warriors batters.

“I am so proud of these girls,” said Street. “We were picked last by the coaches in our region to begin the year. We all used that as motivation to prove them wrong. We are Region champions!”
