Chris Gumto and Carter Snyder each singled before Alex Bretzman doubled in the first Bulls run in the fifth. Bretzman doubled before a Will Larson sac fly and a Cael Miller double in the sixth to make it 4-3 Martins. Fairmont scored five more runs in the sixth to make the final score. Bretzman singled in the seventh.
The Windom Pirates beat the Luverne Redbirds 9-3 at Island Park for a second straight win to steal that series back.
