After their first loss of the season Monday, the Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk baseball team had a quick turnaround, taking on Class 3A Fairfield Tuesday on the road, and was able to grind an 8-6 win in nine frames. While Mid-Prairie was on the board first with a single run in their first at bat, Fairfield scored four in the home half, and made the Hawks play catch-up. They would do just that with one in the second and three more in the fourth to take their first lead of the night at 5-4. Fairfield answered back with a single run in the home half to tie the game at five through four. Each team got a tally in the sixth, leaving the game tied at six through regulation. Things would stay that way until the ninth when the Hawks broke through against the Fairfield pen with a pair of runs and held on for the win.

Brock Harland got the start for the Hawks, working three innings, giving up four hits, four runs, walking three and striking out a pair. Cain Brown, Dylan Henry and Collin Miller all saw action in relief, with Miller working one frame to get the win. Miller and Will Cavanagh led Mid-Prairie at the plate with six combined hits, three runs scored and an RBI. Brown also drove in two. The Hawks are now 2-1 on the year and travel to Cascade Thursday.
