Fairfield extended their losing streak to ten on Monday, dropping their season record down to 2-16 in the process. They took an 11-7 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Colerain Cardinals. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
As for Colerain, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games.
For Colerain's part, they got a big performance out of Devin Moeung, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs. Moeung is becoming a predictor of the Cardinals' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 3-8 when he doesn't). Nathan Johnson also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
