Pahrump Aztecs Silver 14U rally late for 6-5 walk-off win
Kasen Smith, Sawyer Tillery and Trustin Wagnon helped Pahrump build a 5-0 lead before the Aztecs Silver 14U survived Sierra Vista’s rally and won 6-5 in the seventh.
The Pahrump Aztecs Silver 14U turned a 5-0 cushion into a 6-5 walk-off win over Sierra Vista at home Tuesday evening, July 7, finishing one of the week’s most dramatic local baseball games with a bottom-of-the-seventh rally.
Kasen Smith set the tone early, working out of a first-inning hit-by-pitch without allowing a run. Catcher Zayne Tuck threw out the first batter in the opening frame, and the defense closed the inning cleanly. Pahrump then seized control in the bottom half when Smith singled, Anthony Aguilar and Everett Abelar helped extend the inning and Trustin Wagnon lined a two-run single to put the Aztecs ahead 3-0.
The second inning widened the gap. After walks, hit batters and singles loaded the bases, Bentley Shannon, Smith and Brown helped keep traffic moving, and senior infielder Sawyer Tillery delivered a line-drive double to left that drove in runs and stretched the lead to 5-0. The inning gave Pahrump a comfortable margin and showed how many players were already contributing in key spots.
Sierra Vista refused to fade. The visitors got their first run in the third inning, then kept chipping away until the game tightened again in the fifth, when a double and a walk set up another double and cut the lead to 5-3. By the late innings, the contest had become a test of nerves, with Pahrump needing to protect a shrinking lead against a team that kept putting the ball in play and forcing pressure moments.
Pahrump answered that pressure in the bottom of the seventh and finished with the walk-off win. The result added another tight finish to a stretch that has already featured multiple competitive Aztecs outcomes this month, including a Silver 17U split with the Las Vegas Aces Silver and a Bronze 14U walk-off over Shadow. The American Legion lists the Pahrump Valley Aztecs 2026 Baseball Team as a junior squad, 17 and under, in Pahrump with Drew Middleton as manager, and the Silver 14U’s comeback added another clear sign that the program is getting game-ready innings across age groups.
