However, Albertville answered with six unanswered runs to pull away and take the midweek matchup 12-6.
Albertville strung together four hits and put four runs on the board in the top of the first. A sacrifice fly and an error allowed two more runs to score in the top of the second, stretching the lead to 6-0 but Fairview was able to get on the board in the bottom half of the inning.

One pitch later, Barrett York barreled up a double into center field to plate Gregory and make it a 6-1 game going into the third.
