After losing to Rock Hill the last time they met, Fairland decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Dragons skirted past the Redmen 3-2. That's two games straight that the Dragons have won by just one run.
Maddie Short spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on seven hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Fairland's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Aubrey Hayes, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI Hayes has posted since back in April of 2024. Katie Dehart also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
