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. The Trojans added another run in the 2nd on back to back to back singles by seniors Cory Wasylow, Connor Sullivan, and Junior Jonathan Livolsi. The Trojans added 1 more in the 3rd when an Andrew Noviello Sac fly would score Tyler Carey from 3rd. The Rams added an unearned run in the 4th, but it was too little too late.
Connolly's day was done after 5 innings throwing 73 pitches with 46 of them for strikes!
The Trojans added in insurance run in the 6th in the form of a Joe Freiday opposite field home run.
Junior RHP Andrew Noviello came in to pitch the last 2 innings striking out 5 of the 6 batters he faced only allowing 1 hit and earned the save!
The Trojans were led offensively by Cory Wasylow (2 hits) and Joe Freiday ( 2 for 2 with 2 RBI's and a home run), but the Trojans could only garner 6 hits total!
Coach Kearney on the win... "We played well.. Opening day win! Jack Connolly and Andrew Noviello picked up right where they left off (both with even more velocity) and Joe Freiday had 2 big clutch hits and 2 RBI's!! 3 big tests ahead next week!"
The Trojans improve to 1-0 on the early season have 3 games, all on the road, next week, as they travel to New Bedford, Brockton and a new addition to the schedule Lincoln Sudbury (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday).
