All-Farmington Final in 4A Baseball Looking Unlikely

Albuquerque Academy just scored nine runs in the top of the second to lead Farmington 9-0 in the semifinals.

Piedra Vista won 17-14 over No. 1 Artesia earlier on the strength of a big inning of their own, and it doesn't look like they'll face the Scorpions in the title game.

Justin Murray started the game for FHS. If I remember right, he threw a one-hitter in his last two starts before today. But FHS coach Don Lorett had already lifted Murray in place of Chandler Joe with one out in the second and the Scorps trailing 4-0.

If the score holds, it would mark the first time in history that PV advances further in the state tournament.

UPDATE: Albuquerque Academy beat Farmington 20-1, the Scorpions' worst loss in postseason baseball history.

Piedra Vista beat Academy 9-4 earlier this year. Another such performance tomorrow would result in the first state championship in team history.
