Ten games into the season, the Fairfield Lady Lions are off to an amazing start. Nine wins, one loss, a lot of hits, even more runs, and so many strikeouts by pitching, I have been chomping at the bit to talk about it.
Returnees from last year’s championship team include: outfielder David Turnbull (Dartmouth College); first baseman, Ian Neilsen (Taylor University); pitcher, Ryan Robertson (Rio Grande); and pitcher, Jason “Boomer” Moultan (Ohio). The Paints will also welcome back left-handed pitcher, Clayton Schulz from North Florida. Schulz was an All-Star starter for Chillicothe in 2009, and played last summer in Florida.
