Fairfield Union baseball secured a 5-2 win over Logan Elm on Tuesday, punching their ticket to the regional title game.
The victory was anchored by a masterful performance from pitcher Cameron Silcott, who held the opposition scoreless for more than six innings, surrendering only five hits while striking out seven.
Falcons capitalized on two unearned runs in the seventh inning, but the decisive blow came earlier when they plated two runs in the fourth and added three more in the fifth, highlighted by clutch hits with two outs.
Coach Scott Burke noted that the team shook off a nervous first inning and settled into a rhythm, executing their game plan with precision throughout.
The upcoming matchup against Richmond Edison on June 4 will determine a berth in the state tournament, a prize the Falcons are eager to chase.
Key Takeaways
