Fairfield Stakes 1-0 Series With Walk-off win
The Fairfield Flash combined strong pitching and timely hitting to take Game 1 of the Triple A World Series, 3-2, in a walk-off win over the Billings Mustangs today.

The Flash got a solid day from starter Ramón Gómez, who was named player of the game. The right-handed Gómez threw 8 innings of 6-hit ball in the win, which gave the Flash a 1-0 lead to start the best-of-7 series.

Late-game drama came in the bottom of the ninth inning. With no one out and a runner on 3rd, Fairfield pinch hitter Kieran Hurd hit a run-scoring double, helping his team get the win.

"You never want to start a series with a loss, but I saw a lot of good things today," Mustangs manager Keith Irwin said. "I'm not worrying. Yet."

The next game is set to be played on Wednesday, October 11th, 2028 at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. The scheduled starters for the game are Ashley Heath for Billings and Saiyid Mashwanis for Fairfield.
