The Demon baseball team fell to the league-leading Fairfield Trojans on Monday night in a doubleheader.

The Trojans showed why they have won the Southeast Conference in four consecutive seasons as the pitching made it hard on the Demon offense. In game one, it was a classic pitcher’s dual as the Trojans stole the win 2-1 in eight innings. The only run coming from the Demons was a RBI groundout by Aaron Vittetoe in the first inning. The Trojans tied in up in the fourth on an overthrow and then a walk-off single by Tristin Waugh in the eighth sealed the Fairfield win. Jacob Hall was fantastic once again on the bump going seven plus innings of giving up only one earned run. Unfortunately for Hall, his counterpart Cam Baumann was on his A-game as well for the Trojans. He went seven innings of giving up one run on five strikeouts. Vittetoe finished 1-for-4 at the plate with the one RBI for the Demons.

In game two, the bats came alive as the Trojans cruised to a 10-4 win. Waugh continued to be a Demon killer as he got the scoring started in the first inning with a grand slam off of Zach Londberg to jump out to the 4-0 lead. The Demons answered nicely with four runs of their own in the second inning, highlighted by a RBI single by Cade Hennigan and two RBI double off the bat of Michael Gier. The Trojans tacked on a pair of runs in three different innings to capture the doubleheader sweep. Gier finished the game going 2-for-3 with two RBI.

With the losses the Demons fell to 11-7 on the year as the Trojans improves to 14-7. The Demons get back on the diamond Wednesday when they host Williamsburg for a non-conference matchup.
