With the bases loaded and one out, Sam Weinstein grounded into a fielders-choice to short that allowed Joey D'Elia, who reached on an error, to come in and score.
Ridgefield got two runs in the fourth to take the lead. In could have been a bigger inning if not for a nice diving catch in left field by Jack Fitzpatrick leading off the inning.
In the bottom of the fourth, Fairfield re-took the lead. D'Elia and Blake Benway each singled before Jack Varcoe singled to right to bring home D'Elia to tie the game. The next batter, Charlie Mount grounded out to short to bring home Benway to give Fairfield the lead back. Weinstein came up and drove a fly ball deep enough into center field to score Varcoe from third and give Fairfield a 4-2 lead.
Fairfield added another in the fifth. Christain Homa led off with a triple to right field. Two batters later, Anthony Espinoza.hit a ground ball to short and Homa, who was running on contact, beat the throw home and got under the tag from the cather.
Ridefield produced a run in the sixth on a single, hit-by-pitch and another single to cut the deficit to 5-3. They had a chance to do more damage but Alex Wiggetman was able to work out of a bases-loaded jam to preserve the lead.
Wiggetman threw six innings of three run ball to pick up the win for Fairfield. He allowed three runs on six hits, while striking out three and walking one. He also hit a batter. Chris Domizio struck out one in a perfect seventh inning to pick up the save.
