Fairfield Union had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They blew past the Westfall Mustangs 9-3. This was a revenge game for the Falcons: when they faced off against the Mustangs back in April, they had to take a 4-3 loss.

Eli Wolfe spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned runs on seven hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Fairfield Union saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Gage Hammond, who went 1-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most RBI Hammond has posted since back in April.

Fairfield Union pushed their record up to 15-7 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Westfall, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-8 record this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Fairfield Union will square off against Hamilton Township at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Falcons are facing the Rangers at the right time seeing as the Rangers are stuck on a five-game losing streak. As for Westfall, they will head out to take on Chillicothe at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday.
