Fairfield had to settle for second on Tuesday, but Tallen Hixenbaugh sure wasn't going down easily. Hixenbaugh tossed seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. The performance marked the fewest hits he has had since back in March.
Even though Hixenbaugh couldn't lead Fairfield over Flora, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Sadly, Hixenbaugh's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Mules' three-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Hixenbaugh and the Mules surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Thursday's match.
