Trojans remain perfect and improve to 9-0

The Trojans improved to a perfect 9-0 on the season as they mercy ruled the Marshfield Rams 21-1 on a brisk day at Hank Pearson field.  Josh Monson got the start and the win as he only allowed 3 hits and struck out 7.

The Trojans jumped out to the early lead in the first 1-0 and added 5 runs in the top of the 3rd led by a Tyler Carey 2 run  "NO DOUBT" Bomb home run to center field, followed by a Cory Wasylow RBI single and an Adam Chase 2 RBI single to make the score 6-0.  The Rams would try and answer sending their #9 batter to the plate, in the form of Senior Nick Coffran, who lasered a chest high fastball over the center field fence to make the score 6-1.  The Trojans would put the game well out of reach in the top of the 4th scoring 8 more runs on hits by Jonathan Livolsi, Tyler Carey, Corey Dinunno, Andrew Noviello (2 RBI double) Cory Wasylow Sac Fly, and finished off with a 3 run home run to right field by Junior Jonathan Livolsi making the score 14-1.  The Trojans lumped on 7 more runs in the 5th on hits by Jack Connolly,  a few walks and capped off with a Tyler Carey Grand Slam home run (his 2nd HR of the night) to make it 21-1.  
Josh Monson improves to 3-0 with a .368 ERA.  Offensively the Trojans bats broke out with 15 hits led by Senior Tyler Carey (4 for 5 with 6 RBI's, single, double, and 2 Home runs, and scored 4 runs), Junior Jonathan Livolsi ( 3 for 3 with 2 singles, a home run, and 4 RBI's), Corey Dinunno 3 for 3, and Andrew Noviello ( 2 for 4 with 3 RBI's and 2 runs scored).

Trojans cruise past Silver Lake behind Connollys 10 K's

The Trojans cruised to victory 10-0 in 5 innings over the  Silver Lake Lakers to win the Brad Martin Tournament hosted by Plymouth North HS on a very very windy day, to remain perfect and improve to 8-0. Game time temperature was around 60 degrees with the wind blowing out very hard.
The Trojans jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first when Senior Captain Joe Freiday would single home Andrew Noviello and added another run in the 2nd when Connor Sullivan (triple) would score on a Silver Lake passed ball making the score 2-0. The Trojans added another run in the 3rd and 2 more in the 4th on a triple by Noviello (scoring Dinunno) and would scamper home on a Laker throwing error to make it 5-0.  The Lakers would load the bases in the 5th on 2 hits and a hit batsmen, but Connolly would strike out the last 2 Lakers to quell the threat. The Trojans lumped on 5 more runs in the 5th on hits by Tyler Carey (bunt single), a 2 RBI single by Joe Freiday, and RBI single by Connor Sullivan and RBI by Adam Chase, and would end on a sac fly by Jonathan Livolsi (scoring Cory Wasylow) which turned into an odd  game ending double play.
Jack Connolly notches the win improving to 4-0 and had 10 K's giving up 3 hits and only walking 1 and threw 89 pitches in 5 innings.
Offensively the Trojans were led by Connor Sullivan (2 for 4 with a triple and 1 RBI) and Joe Freiday (2 for 4 with 3 RBI's).
The Trojans return home on Saturday as they face the Hingham Harbormen.  Probable starter is Senior RHP Josh Monson.

Trojans Trounce Whalers

The Trojans trounced the New Bedford Whalers 13-3, to improve to 7-0 on the season, in the first game of the Brad Martin Memorial Tournament on a windy afternoon at the "new and beautiful" Plymouth North High School field, behind a complete game pitching performance by Junior Andrew Noviello.
The Trojans bats were booming in the 1st inning as they scored 5 runs on hits by Tyler Carey (bunt single), Corey Dinunno (single), an RBI by Cory Wasylow, followed by a bases clearing 3RBI double by Junior Jonathan Livolsi to make the score 5-0. The Whalers would answer in the top of the 3rd throwing up 3 runs (1 earned)  on 3 hits to make it a game at 5-3. The Trojans added a run in the bottom of the frame on an Adam Chase RBI triple to center, and 2 more runs in the bottom of the 4th on a single by Dinunno, followed by a Joe Freiday inside the park home run to put the game out of reach at 8-3.  The Trojans added 5 more runs in the bottom of the 6th on hits by Dinunno, Noviello, Freiday, and a Jonathan Livolsi 3 RBI walkoff triple as the "mercy rule" came into play and the Trojans rolled to a 13-3 victory.  The playing conditions were very tough as the wind was blowing hard and the murky/cloudy backdrop was not a "fielders friend" as both teams had trouble finiding the ball!
Coach Kearney on the win "Great offensive production today highlighted by several extra base hits and use off all fields. Novi pitched his usual solid game and the defense made some nice plays when they had to".
Multiple hitsmen for the Trojans include Corey Dinunno (3 for 4 and 3 runs scored ), Jonathan Livolsi (2 for 4 with 6 RBI's! a double and a triple), Joe Freiday (2 for 3 with a HR and 3 RBI's), and Andrew Noviello (2 for 4).  The Trojans remain perfect at 7-0 and will face off against the Silver Lake Lakers at 2:00 on Thursday. Probable pitcher is Junior Jack Connolly.

Connolly's complete game powers Trojans to 6-0

The Trojans defeated the Barnstable Red Raiders 7-3 on a chilly Thursday afternoon at Hank Pearson field behind a complete game 96 pitch performance by Junior Ace Jack Connolly to improve to a perfect 6-0 (2-0 in OCL).
In the 1st inning the Trojans found themselves in an unfamiliar position, trailing by 2 runs, as the Red Raiders took advantage of a Trojan error before Connolly struck out the side.  The Trojans came to bat in the bottom of the 1st looking to answer, but came up short stranding 2. The Trojans exploded for 6 runs in the bottom of the 2nd when a John Livolsi (double) would knock in Connor Sullivan, and a 2 RBI double by Cory Wasylow would knock in Livolsi and Tyler Carey to make the score 3-2.  A Joe Freiday 2 run "no doubter" home run would increase the Trojan lead to 6-2 deflating the boisterous Red Raider bench. The Trojans added an insurance run in the bottom of the 3rd when John Livolsi would single home pinch runner Cam Polson to increase the Trojan lead to 7-2.

 
Connolly would settle things down retiring the next 12 Red Raiders in a row as his breaking ball dazzled the Red Raiders inducing ground balls and fly balls and K's.  The Red Raiders would score a run in the 7th but it was too little too late and the Trojans rolled to a 7-3 victory. 
The Trojans only mustered 6 hits and were led by Junior John Livolsi (2 for 3 with a double and 2 RBI's) and Senior Captain Joe Freiday (2 for 3 with a home run and 2 RBI's) 
Notre Dame bound Jack Connolly improves to a perfect 3-0 on the season. 

Coach Kearney on the win "Good solid win over a good Barnstable team - Jack C settled down and only allowed 2 hits after 1st inning .... Six-run 2nd was awesome - key doubles by Lavolsi, Wasylow and then Freiday's huge 2-run HR settled things - Good to be 2-0 in OCL !"

The Trojans will travel to the beautiful and new Plymouth North High school as they will play 2 games in the Brad Martin Memorial tournament on Tuesday (New Bedford) and Thursday at time and opponent TBD, followed by a very tough match up on Saturday against the defending  DII State Champion Hingham Harbormen.

The Indians would threaten in the bottom of the 3rd with a runner on 2nd and 2 outs, when a routine ground ball would be fumbled by Noviello at SS for the E6, but no harm would come out of it as Monson would strike out the last batter of the inning stranding 2 Indians.  Noviello would redeem himself on the very next pitch thrown to him as he lasered a "no doubter" home run to right center field to enhance the Trojan lead too 5-0. The Trojans added some insurance in the top of the 6th on hits by Adam Chase and Tyler Carey to put the game out of reach.

Trojans roll to 4-0 #Roadtosuper8

The Trojans improve to 4-0 on the season defeating the Lincoln-Sudbury Warriors 12-4 on Thursday afternoon, despite sloppy defense.

With the defending DI Champs struggling to fill their 20 game schedule, and "the powers that be" unable to secure a neutral site, the Trojans marched their way (a little over an hour) to Sudbury to face the #22 ranked Lincoln Sudbury Warriors, in non league play on Thursday afternoon.

With their ace, Junior RHP (Notre Dame Commit) Jack Connolly on the mound and coming off an 11-1 win over the Brockton Boxers on Wednesday, the Trojans entered the game with loads of confidence as their offense finally "showed up" to compliment their stellar pitching staff this season.

The Trojans opened up the first inning, smashing the ball,  scoring 3 runs on a Tyler Carey single followed by back to back doubles by Corey Dinunno and Andrew Noviello, followed by an RBI single by Connor Sullivan. The Warriors would answer in the bottom of the first scoring a run on 1 hit and 2 errors before Connolly would strike out the remaining 3 Warriors to halt the threat. The Trojans added 2 more runs in the 3rd on a wild pitch (scoring Noviello), and an Adam Chase sac fly, to make the score 5-1.  The Warriors added 3 runs in the 3rd (all unearned)  on several Trojan errors to make the score 5-4.  The Trojans would answer nicely in the form of a Joe Freiday 3 run home run to put the game out of reach at 8-4. The Trojans would pile on 4 more runs in the top of the 7th on singles by Paul Lafond, Tyler Carey, Corey Dinunno (Sac Fly), Andrew Noviello 2RBI double, and Corey Wasylow single to close the door and make the score to 12-4.  After the 6th inning Jack Connolly's day was done, throwing 116 pitches, striking out 7, walking 5, and allowing 0 ER. 

The Trojans rolled to victory winning by a score of 12-4, thanks largely in part of their offense, as their defense mimicked that of an 11 year old all star team, as they committed 7 errors!!

 As the golf saying goes, they don't draw pictures on the scorecard, and the Trojans will "take it" as they improve to a perfect 4-0 on the season thanks largely in part to their 14 hit attack as they scored double digit runs for the 2nd game in a row.

The Trojans were led offensively by Tyler Carey (3 for 4), Andrew Noviello (3 for 5 with 4 RBI's), Connor Sullivan (2 for 4 with an RBI), Joe Freiday (2 for 3 with a  3 RBI home run), and Cory Wasylow (2 for 5 with an RBI).

The Trojans will travel to Dartmouth High on Monday to face the Indians as they enter OCL play.

An impressive 2 way performance from Andrew Noviello led Trojans toVictory!

Junior RHP/UMaine Commit/ Utility player Andrew Noviello led the Trojans to victory on Wednesday afternoon against the Brockton Boxers at Campanelli Stadium.

To say Andrew "had a good game", or "played well", would be a huge understatement! Andrew came into Wednesdays contest batting .333 through 2 games, and sporting a 0 ERA.  He would improve on both those stats following Wednesdays non league game against a talented Boxers lineup! 

The Trojans jumped out to an early lead in the first inning when Senior Co-Captain Corey Dinunno singled to CF, followed by a single by Junior Andrew Noviello and  would both be knocked in by Senior Co-Captain Joe Freiday (double) who would later be knocked in by a Connor Sullivan single (who eventually scored), making the score 4-0. The Trojans added 2 more runs in the 2nd when Tyler Carey (single) would score on a no doubter BOMB 2 RBI Home Run by Andrew Noviello. The Trojans added a run in the 3rd when Cory Wasylow tripled over the CF head and would be knocked home by Connor Sullivan, and added 2 more in the 4th when Senior Kevin Newton (double) would score on a  (Tyler Carey triple, who would be knocked in by Corey Dinunno, to advance the lead to 9-0.

Noviello would be pulled after the 4th inning allowing 4 hits, striking out 6, allowing 0 walks and 0 ER, and only throwing 44 total pitches (34 for strikes). 

Junior RHP Branden Connelly pitched the 5th and 6th inning allowing only 1 hit and 1 run while striking out 3! 

The Trojans added another run in the 6th when Kevin Newton (single) would score on an RBI single by Noviello, and another run in the 7th when Shaun Bushlow (single) would score on an RBI single by Paul  Lafond.

Sophomore Chris Newman came in to close the door in the 7th and did not disappoint, only allowing 1 hit.

The Trojans bats exploded for 15 hits, led by Junior Andrew Noviello (3 for 4 with a home run and 3 RBI's), Tyler Carey (2 for 3 with a triple and 1 RBI), Kevin Newton (2 for 3 with a double and 2 runs scored), and Joe Freiday (2 for 4 with a double and 2 RBI's)

Coach Kearney on the win "GREAT offensive start today allowed Novi to limit to 4 innings and get Branden Connelly and Chris Newman their first Varsity experience, and able to get most of the roster involved in a positive way".

The Trojans improve to 3-0 on the season and travel to Lincoln Sudbury HS on Thursday to face their biggest test of the year as they face off against the #22 ranked Warriors.

Junior RHP Jack Connolly is expected to start.

The temperature was supposed to be in the upper 50's, but the clouds rolled in and the wind was blowing and it felt like it was in the upper 30's.

The Trojans jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first when Junior Cory Wasylow would single home Junior Andrew Noviello. 

The score would remain the same through 5 innings as both pitchers settled in for the makings of a pitchers duel.  To the top of the 6th we go, and Senior Tyler Carey (HBP) would score from 2nd on a smash triple off the right center field fence, by Andrew Noviello, to increase the Trojan lead.  Senior Co-Captain Joe Freiday would leg out an RBI double to right center, scoring Noviello, to increase the Trojan lead to 3-0.  The Trojans added an RBI by Senior Co-Captain Cory Dinunno, scoring Connor Sullivan, to pad the lead by 4!  The Whalers scraped an unearned run in the bottom of the 7th, but it wasn't enough and the Trojans rolled to victory!

Coach Kearney on the win.." Great start by Josh Monson against a very good New Bedford team! Complete game 2 hitter with 10 K's, Andrew Noviello and Joey Freiday led the way offensively with 2 hits and an RBI each- Good solid win today!!"

Monson improves to 1-0 on the season and pitching a complete game will help save the Trojan pitching staff for the busy week ahead, as they face Brockton on Wednesday and Lincoln Sudbury on Thursday at a site TBD.   Probable starter for Wednesday is Andrew Noviello.

Game time temp was in the 50's with a slight breeze from right to left which after the winter we have had it felt like 70 degrees!
Connolly took the mound in the first and looked in mid season form as he blew threw the first 3 innings without allowing a base runner. The Trojans jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first when Senior Co-Captain Joe Freiday lasered a single to center that scored Senior Co-Captain Corey Dinunno from 2nd.
