He also faced just four batters apiece in the fourth and fifth, pitching around singles by Wilson and Siefken. Saufley worked a 1-2-3 frame in the seventh, his third of the game (second and third innings, as well). Ian Bents also singled in the sixth, but Saufley was able to get out of the inning with an infield pop-up, a strikeout and a ground ball. "We hit the ball well, and with the way Aaron was pitching, a five-run lead was pretty comfortable at that point." "Saufley is a great pitcher, but we got to him a little bit in that sixth inning," Schmidt said. Schmidt followed with an RBI single to left-center, plating Wilson for a 5-0 Martins' lead. Wilmont's outfielders appeared to lose the ball in the night sky, and all three base runners scored as Wilson hustled to third with a key triple. Wilson (3-for-4) jumped on the first pitch he saw and lifted a deep fly ball into right-center field. McGuire was then issued an intentional walk, loading the bases with no outs. Jon Ellis, who had advanced Chirpich to second base with a sacrifice bunt in the first, followed with a double into the left-center field gap.
Chirpich (2-for-4), Fairmont's lead-off man, got the rally going with another single to start the frame. The Martins, though, broke things open with a five-hit, four-run output in the sixth inning - mounting a 5-0 advantage. With Saufley and Siefken on the mound, Game 5 figured to be a low-scoring affair.Īnd it was during the opening five innings, as Fairmont - which scored on singles by Scott Chirpich (run) and Shaun McGuire (RBI) in the bottom of the first - held a 1-0 lead throughout the first half of the game.
They are the best team, top-to-bottom, in the region and have a good chance to win some games at the state tournament."Ĭhirpich, Wilson and Siefken lead Martins "Give Fairmont all the credit, as they outplayed us in the final three games of this series. "We had another good, fun season with a lot of positive highlights," summed up Wilmont player/manager Justin Saufley, who pitched 7 1/3 innings and took the loss. Wilmont, which won the Gopher League regular-season title and finished second in the league tournament, ends the summer with a record of 23-10.
We have a lot of good pitchers on our team, so we were still confident about our chances even after we lost the first two ballgames." "Aaron had everything working tonight and pitched a great game for us.

"This was a very good series that saw the pitchers dominate most of the action," Fairmont player/manager Adam Schmidt said after the game.

Also, now that the design team is on board, discussion and coordination can happen between the City, the Advisory Board, the Fairmont Area Community Center Foundation, the YMCA, and Tegra. They will also be able to use the new survey data to make sure what gets built is in line with what the community wants to use. Once an architect is hired, they are able to start on concept designs.
The goal is to have architect approval on the City Council agenda on April 25th. Once the interviews are complete, the information gathered will be brought back to the Advisory Board who will make a recommendation to City Council. These three companies started the interview process on Thursday, April 14th. These include: ISG, JLG, and 292 Design Group. Nine architects submitted for the Community Center project, which was overwhelmingly positive.
