Middies fall to Fairmont on costly seventh inning error
Sam Stringer made his first Middies start lasting four hits with two earned runs but an eighth inning error doomed the effort as Fairmont edged Dayton Riser 3 2. The decisive play came when Stringer mishandled a Miller grounder with two out in the seventh, allowing Smith to score the go ahead run.

The next game is a home doubleheader with Cincinnati Western Hills on Saturday.
