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.
