PROCTORVILLE - All for one and one for all.

The Fairland Dragons used a team effort to beat the Spring Valley Timberwolves 5-4 Thursday in a non-league game.

Cory McKnight and Chris Barnett combined on an 8-hitter and five different players had hits as the Dragons improved to 2-0 on the season.

"Everyone contributed in some way," Fairland coach Roger Snyder said. "It takes a team effort to beat Spring Valley. They're a solid team so it was a good win. Any time you beat Spring Valley, you've beaten a good team."

Fairland took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Michael Hill singled with two outs, moved up on a passed ball and scored on a hit by Josh Moore.

Spring Valley tied the game in the second and took a 4-1 lead after three innings.

Fairland tied the game in the fifth.

Trenton Moore singled, Nolan Love walked, and a throwing error over the fence scored Moore. Nick Zundel singled home a run and Hill hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game.

Fairland won the game with a run in the bottom of the seventh.

Love walked, Michael Spence went in as a pinch-runner and moved up on a passed ball. Spring Valley intentionally walked Hill and Todd Maynard to load the bases, but Moore crossed up the strategy with a long single to right over the drawn-in outfield.

Trenton Moore was 2-for-3 and Josh Moore 2-for-4 to lead the Dragons.

Fairland plays at River Valley Monday in an Ohio Valley Conference game.
