First Look: OK3Sports Photojournalist Olen Kelley III’s raw edit from the Springfield Wildcats and the Fairfield Indians at Fairfield Stadium in Fairfield, OH., on Saturday, September 01, 2018.

Springfield 15, Fairfield 14
Larry Stephens hauled in a 35-yard touchdown grab from Raheim Moss with 1:13 remaining in the game before Moss ran in the two-point conversion allowing Springfield to defeat Fairfield in dramatic fashion, 15-14.

After fumbling a punt at the 35-yard line, Stephens made up for his miscue by sealing the victory with an interception for Springfield (2-0) in a game that was originally scheduled for Friday but was delayed due to inclement weather.

Trailing 7-0 after the first quarter after Fairfield’s JuTahn McClain scored on a 66-yard run, Springfield got on the scoreboard when Te’Sean Smoot found Michael Brown-Stephens on a 61-yard touchdown pass.

After halftime, Fairfield reclaimed the lead when Jeff Tyus hit Dashaun Simpkins on a 15-yard touchdown strike. Elgin Phillips hit the point after to claim a 14-7 advantage heading into the final quarter of play.

The Wildcats moved to 2-0 with the victory and will face Hudson on Friday night, while Fairfield dropped to 1-1 on the season. Fairfield will visit Hamilton in Week 3.
