Pahrump Aztecs Bronze 14U shows fight in doubleheader sweep by Silverado
Pahrump’s 14U club traded punches early, then kept chipping away with six runs and several defensive stands before Silverado completed the sweep.
The Pahrump Aztecs Bronze 14U kept competing inning after inning at home on Thursday, June 4, even as Silverado controlled the scoreboard in the opener and went on to sweep the doubleheader. The 17-6 result in the first game did not reflect a team that folded; it showed a young Pahrump club rotating pitchers, getting outs at the plate and finding enough offense to keep pressure on Silverado.
Trustin Wagnon started on the mound for Pahrump and immediately had to work through Silverado traffic, but the Aztecs answered with defense around the plate. Stetson Brown and Bentley Shannon each cut down runners trying to score, turning busy early moments into outs and keeping the damage manageable. Pahrump also had a chance to strike first. Kasen Smith drew a leadoff walk, Brown and Anthony Aguilar were hit by pitches to load the bases, and the Aztecs had an opening before Silverado escaped the jam.
The pitching changes became part of the story from there. Sawyer Tillery took over in the second inning, Aguilar later delivered a strong stretch with key strikeouts in the third, and Chris Mize Jr. also helped on the mound. That mix of arms kept Pahrump in the game long enough for the offense to break through in the fourth.
Wagnon started the rally with a single, Brown reached again by hit-by-pitch and Aguilar drove a two-run single to center. Zayne Tuck added another hit, Ashton Toole worked a walk and Mize followed with a fielder’s choice that pushed in two more runs. The Aztecs kept building in the fifth, when Shannon doubled and Tuck added another RBI hit to keep the pressure on Silverado.
The final margin still favored Silverado, but the home team’s six runs and steady defensive effort pointed to a group that is learning how to string together productive innings. For a Pahrump travel program built on players who keep showing up, moving through the pitching rotation and taking advantage of every chance at the plate, the sweep was less a sign of collapse than a snapshot of where the Aztecs stand and how much they are still growing.
