Hunter Wells knocked in 3 runs to help Fairfield beat Joplin, 11-5. The second baseman collected 1 single, 1 double, and 1 home run. The winning continues for Fairfield, with the latest triumph making it 7 straight.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Wells delivered big-time for Fairfield, stroking a dramatic 3-run home run off Bill LaForge. The game-changing hit put the Flash on top, 8-5.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Wells. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
