Canyon View took a 3-0 lead in the third inning against Paradise Valley North behind run-producing groundouts by Casey Casper and Miles Anderson and an RBI single by Lucas Runyon.
Paradise Valley North tied the game at 3 in the bottom of the fifth with Bryce Mitchell’s RBI single the lone hit of the rally.
With one out in the bottom of the sixth, Paradise Valley North’s Jackson Elmer reached on an error and moved to third on a single by Finlee Wert. Jax McMugh followed with a single up the middle, plating Elmer for the walk-off-winning run.
“They just gotta come back and compete (against District 8 champ Sierra Vista),” Canyon View manager Zak Anderson said. “It was a great game. They competed all the way to the end. I’m hopeful they’ll show up against Sierra Vista and do their best.
“We have a really good group of kids who will compete, and I expect them to do that. They have great attitudes. They’ve got just a natural desire to want to do well.”
Canyon View’s Luke Newman went 3 for 3 with a run and was also effective as the starting pitcher, going two scoreless innings with two strikeouts and no walks. Miles Anderson had five strikeouts in 2 1/3 innings of relief and had an RBI at the plate.
Kevin Curtis also went 2 for 4 with a run for Canyon View, the District 5 champion that is now 5-1 including the district tournament.
