Martins fall to Bulls; to host Windom tonight
FAIRMONT — Unfortunately for No. 1-seeded Fairmont, four errors offset ace right-hander Shaun McGuire’s pitching performance and Adam Schmidt’s hitting heroics at Cardinal Park on Wednesday night. Jackson hurler Tom Hady fired a complete game to guide the No. 2-seeded Bulls to a 3-2 victory over the Martins during First Nite League amateur baseball playoff action in Fairmont. Fairmont (26-8) plays host to the Windom Pirates (12-14) in an elimination game at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Cardinal Park in Fairmont. The winner of the Martins-Pirates contest advances to face Jackson (16-6) for the First Nite League championship at 2 p.m. Saturday at Wacker Field in Jackson. If a second game is necessary on Saturday to determine the No. 1 and 2 seeds for the regional, the contest will be a seven-inning tilt following the conclusion of the 2 p.m. game. The First Nite League’s top two teams advance to the Minnesota Region 13C tournament.
