Fairfield got off to a quick start, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first without the benefit of a base hit. Christian Homa led off with a walk, Joe D'Elia reached on an error by the shortstop and Jamie Flink walked to load the bases.
The next batter, Blake Benway, grounded into a 4-6-3 double play. However, Homa was able to come in to score. Charlie Mount followed up with a ground ball to third and the throw to first was not fielded cleanly allowing D'Elia to come in and score. Fairfield led 2-0 after one inning.
Fairfield added a run in the fourth to take a 3-0 lead. Mount reached for the second time on an error. Following a single by Sam Weinstein and a double play, Jack Varcoe came up with a running on third and two outs. He singled to left field to bring home Mount.
The Clubhouse got a run in fifth to cut the deficit to 3-1. In the seventh they added a run and had the tying run at second but Weinstein was able to work into and out of trouble to pick up the save and the win for Fairfield.
Fairfield got strong pitching from Anthony Espinoza, Brady Pomer and Weinstein. They improve to 5-1 and will be back in action on Thursday at Kiwanis vs Norwalk at 5:30.
