Viewmont had lost nine straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 3-4 to make it ten. They fell 8-5 to the Clearfield Falcons. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Vikings of the 8-2 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2025.
Peyton Burningham made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one double. That double was her first of the season. Ricki Smith was another key player, going 3-for-4 with one run.
As for Clearfield, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 8-1. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games.
On Clearfield's side, Hannah Hensley spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned runs on 12 hits and racked up six Ks. Those six strikeouts set a new season-high mark for Hensley.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Skylar Davis, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in May of 2025. Another player making a difference was Alexandra Bingham, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI and one run.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Viewmont will welcome Bountiful at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Clearfield, they will be playing at home against Northridge at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Knights have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.13 runs per game on average), something the Falcons will no doubt try to take advantage of.
