Serena Roth looked comfortable as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Davis got a massive performance out of Chloe Peery, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles. That's the most runs Peery has posted over her last 12 games. The team also got some help courtesy of Libby Miller, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple.

Davis always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Weber only posted an OBP of .353.

Meanwhile, after soaring to 13 runs the game before, Farmington was a bit more limited in their match on Wednesday. They took a 5-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of West Jordan.

Farmington also got a good showing from Lill Topham, who pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.

At the plate, Farmington saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kiley Gazafy, who went 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI.

Davis pushed their record up to 20-6 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.1 runs over those games. As for Farmington, their loss dropped their record down to 11-9.

Farmington's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Davis has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.7 hits per game. It's a different story for Farmington, though, as they've been averaging 8.9 hits. Given Davis' sizable advantage in that area, the Phoenix will need to find a way to close that gap.

Davis took their victory against Farmington in their previous meeting back in April by a conclusive 9-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Darts since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
