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.
