The steam train derailed Monday as the red-hot Fairfield baseball team found defeat in the NorthWood Baseball Sectional, a 5-0 result in favor of East Noble.
East Noble starter Luke Mast outdueled Fairfield's Keegan Miller, Mast with 11 strikeouts and got out of two big jams to keep the Falcons off the board. East Noble countered with three RBIs from Reese Rouch to win its first sectional title since 1995.

Details on the flier for the Fairfield Color Guard Summer Camp!
Wednesday morning Millersburg second graders performed the play Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock, inspired by the book written by Eric Kimmel.
The second graders depicted a story of deception and the moral character associated with some of the bad choices told in the African folk tale.
Students portrayed several jungle animals that were featured in the Anansi book they read this year.
Fairfield High School was the host for a special party Tuesday morning as Rebecca Tarman was celebrated for her upcoming retirement.
Tarman is a 31-year teaching veteran, her first nine years at Syracuse Elementary and the last 23 with Fairfield Community Schools.
The celebration was put together by Stacey Mehlberg and Wendi Sparks, both close friends and teachers at Fairfield Jr/Sr High School. Tarman had a cake and was also joined by the FHS Life Skills students to add to the celebration.
Congratulations to Tarman on a fantastic teaching career and well wishes into her retirement!
New Paris sixth graders were stuck to this project!
The sixth graders participated in squid dissections today! This event was a culmination of their learning and work in science this year. It was a first for the New Paris students and the kids were very excited for the unique learning opportunity.
We shared a post yesterday celebrating a state champion in Joya Holsopple at the Indiana State Middle School Track Championships in Terre Haute. Here's a little more depth on the event, and some additional Fairfield successes from the meet.
Holsopple cleared 10-0 to win the title, with teammates Shelby Miller (9-3) in third and Neila Rumfelt (8-0) in eighth.
Also representing Fairfield on the medal stand were the boys distance medley relay team of Wyatt Mast, Oakley Stichter, Caden Harris and Landon Russell, which placed third overall at 12:40.82.
The mixed 4x400 relay team of Mast, Stichter, Madison Jones and Eliana Yoder were fifth overall with a time of 4:22.82.
The Millersburg Middle School eighth grade gave a preview of their Business Expo exhibits today. From product development and product pitching, to designing logos, business cards, and websites; from market research, to prototypes, product sales, and profit loss statements, it was all covered! Even job applications, these kids did it all.
Their hard work paid off as they used the profits to pay for their eighth grade trip to Louisville (see our post from yesterday). They will be sharing all they learned at their Business Expo tomorrow (Saturday), from 9 a.m. to noon in the MEMS gymnasium.
