Fairfield 19U topples Norwalk



Fairfield 19U Legion defeated the Norwalk Revolution 12-3 on Thursday afternoon at Kiwanis Field in Fairfield. 

Fairfield got off to a quick start in the first inning and never looked back.Christian Homa led off with a single and Ryan Cowles doubled to put runners at second and third. Jamie Flink and Blake Benway then singled in Homa and Cowles to put Fairfield up 2-0. 

Later in the inning, with Flink at third and Benway at second, Brady Pomer singled to center field to bring in two more runs and Fairfield led 4-0. 

Fairfield added another run in the second. Joey D'Elia led off with a single and the next batter, Homa, singled him in. 

Norwalk got on the board in the third. The Revolution put up three runs on four hits. With two on and two outs, Will S delivered a two-run double and Mitch S came up with an RBI single to cut the Fairfield lead to 5-3. *

The roster we were given only has first names and it's tough to find rosters for summer baseball, especially this summer. I normally HATE using first names. 

Fairfield added on in the fourth. Jack Pierce led off with a single. After a strikeout, Homa singled and Cowles walked to load the bases for Flink. With Flink at the plate, a wild pitch went to the backstop and Pierce was able to scamper home. Flink would walk to re-load the bases for Benway. Benway hit a sharp ground ball to first base that went past the first baseman, allowing Homa and Cowles to come in and score and put Fairfield up 7-3. 

Fairfield increased their lead an inning later. With two on and two out, Homa once again came up big. He doubled to left to bring home Pomer and Jack Fitzpatrick. 

The scoring would be capped in the sixth when Fairfield would yet again add more. Jay Joliet's two-out single scored Flink, who had led off the inning with a walk. Joliet would work his way around the base paths and come in to score on a wild pitch. 

In addition to their great offensive performance, Fairfield got great pitching from Alex Wiggetman, Joey Sangiuolo and CJ Montiero. Wiggetman threw three innings, allowing three runs on four hits, while walking one and striking out two. Sangiuolo threw three innings, allowing no runs on three hits, while striking out three. Montiero pitched a perfect seventh, including two strikeouts.
