BR Trounces Lincoln Sudbury 19-4

The Trojans opened Super 8 play with a bang, as they hosted the Lincoln Sudbury Warriors at Hank Pearson Field in the opening round play of the MIAA Division 1A "Super 8" tournament and rolled to a 19-4 run rule shortened 8 inning affair.



The Trojans jumped out to an early in the bottom of the 1st taking advantage of some shaky LS pitching  as 3 walks, a hit batsman, and a Connor Sullivan FC RBI would put the Trojans on top 2-0.  The Warriors would answer in the top of the 2nd scoring 1 run on 2 hits and a walk to make it 2-1. The trojans piled on 3 more runs on hits by Corey Dinunno, a 2 RBI double by Noviello, and he would score on an RBI single by Freiday to make it 5-1. The Trojans added a run in the 4th, but would break the game wide open in the bottom of the 6th scoring 5 runs as they batted around the order on hits by Joe Freiday, an RBI single by Connor Sullivan, a Jack Connolly RBI single, a Tyler Carey sac fly, and a Corey Dinunno RBI single, making it 11-1.
The Trojans would bat around the order again in the bottom of the 7th and would end the game in the 8th as they pounded the LS pitching staff scoring 19 runs on 16 hits as they took advantage of the 11 walks and 5 hit batsmen.
The story of the day is the fabulous 2 way performance by the Umaine commit Junior Andrew Noviello as he pithed 7 innings with 8 K's allowing only 3 walks and went 3 for 3 at the plate with 2 doubles a single and 5 RBI's.  Other offensive standouts were jonathan Livolsi (3 for 5 with 2 doubles 1 RBI), Senior Captain Joe Freiday (3 for 4 with a double and 2 RBI's), as well as Connor Sullivan, Jack Connolly, and Corey Dinunno had multiple hits.

The Trojans will rest up tonight and get ready for the next round of play as they travel to Campanelli stadium to face off against St Johns Prep on Saturday at Noon!

Trojans finish season with a bang!

The Trojans finished the regular season with a bang as they made the trek(again) to Barnstable(again) to finish the 11 inning tie game that they started on Thursday, and walked away with the 7-4 win in 13 innings, finishing the regular season at 18-2, and are all but assured of a top 4 seeding in the inaugural MIAA Super 8 tournament that will be picked tonight at 6:00 at MIAA headquarters in Franklin.
When we left on Thursday around 7:30 PM the momentum was on the side of the Barnstable Red Raiders, as they had more scoring chances in the 6 scoreless innings since the 5th inning, and they had the meat of their order 3 4 5 coming to bat and we had 7 8 9 leading off the top of the 12th, so on paper it was advantage Barnstable.
The game resumed at 10:00 sharp with Jack Connolly at the plate and looking to start something and he lasered an 0-1 fastball to left, a Red Raider double play ball would quell the threat but opened the doors for Senior Pat Whooley who ripped a 0-2 fastball to straight away center for his first hit of the year, but would be stranded at 1st.  Senior Josh Monson would return to the mound to try and start where he finished off, not allowing a run in 3 innings of relief, and he did not disapoint. Monson induced a ground out to 2B a strike out, and gave up a single to LF. With the Red Raiders grasping for answers they attempted to move the runner into scoring position via the steal which was thwarted by a perfect throw from Senior Captian Joe Freiday to Junior Andrew Noviello.... who applied the tag to kill the Red Raider threat.
To the 13th we go!!!!!  Andrew Noviello led off with a walk, advanced to 2nd on a wild pitch, which was followed by a Joe Freiday intentional walk.  A Red Raider Balk would score Noviello and advance Freiday to 2nd and  he would score on a Jonathan Livolsi single, making the score 6-4.  A Jack Connolly RBI laser double would add an insurance run scoring Livolsi and the Trojans held on for the win!!
Jack Connolly led the offense going 4 for 6, a double and 2 RBI's, Jonathan Livolsi and Adam Chase had 3 hits each. Senior Josh Monson EARNED the W as he pitched 5 INN allowing 2 hits, 1 walk and allowing 0 ER. Pitching like he did under that amount of pressure was awesome!!!
The Trojans will anxiously await the Super 8 seedings and will hopefully be a top 4 seed and host a first round playoff game!

Trojans end regular season in a tie??

The Trojans made the trek to Barnstable on Friday fighting the beginning of the Memorial day weekend Cape traffic mess, and battled blow for blow agauinst the Red Raiders which ended in a 4-4 tie as the umps decide it was too dark to complete a full inning.
Andrew Noviello got the start and faced the minimum thru 2 innings. The Trojans struck in the top of the 3rd when Andrew Noviello (bunt single) would score on a Jonathan Livolsi RBI single and Adam Chase would be knocked in by a Jack Connolly RBI single. Livolsi would scamper home from 3rd on a Red Raider wild pitch and it was 3-0.
 The Red raiders battled back scoring 2 runs on 3 hits to make it 3-2.  The Trojans added another run in the 4th when Corey Dinunno (triple) would score on another Red Raider wild pitch. The Red Raiders came to the plate in the 5th looking for answers and tied it up at 4 scoring 2 runs on 1 hit, 1 walk and a Trojan error. The game remained tied thanks largely in part to several great defensive plays by both teams with 2 of them by Junior Kyle Horseman (1 at SS and 1 at 2B) in his first real action of the season, proving he "can play". 

To EXTRA innings we go!! Junior Andrew Noviello got out of a bases loaded (1out) jam in the bottom of the 8th with a strike out and a hold your breath ground ball to 3rd that Livolsi routinely threw to 1st for the game saving out to retire the side.  Noviello pitched 8 complete innings throwing 123 pitches, striking out 10 walking 2 and allowed 3 earned runs, and his day was done as Coach Kearney summonsed Senior Josh Monson from the bull pen.
Monson faced the minimum in the 9th, and left a Red Raider stranded at first in the 10th and stranded the winning run at 3rd in the 11th,  as a Red Raider (2 out double) would advance to 3rd on a Trojan error but was held up (and probabaly would've scored to end the game). Monson struck out the last batter on a 3-2 curve ball and got out of the jam!  The umps congregated and decided it was too dark to continue play.
Play will resume Monday at 10:00AM................
Super 8 selection is Monday at 6:00PM

Connolly's 1 hitter powers Trojans over Durfee

The Trojans defeated the Durfee High Hilltoppers 6-2 on Wednesday afternoon at Hank Pearson Field, improving to 17-2, behind Notre Dame bound Junior Jack Connolly's 1 hitter. 




Coach Kearney went to his Ace, as the Trojans looked for revenge against the teams May 9th shocking walkoff loss against Durfee, and Connolly did not disappoint. The Hilltoppers struck first in the 2nd inning as Connolly struggled with his command, uncharacteristacally walking 4 in the inning, to take a 2-0 lead. That lead was short lived though as the Trojans battled back to take a 3-2 lead on hits by Connor Sullivan (RBI single), Jonathan Livolsi (RBI double), and a Corey Dinunno (RBI single). The Trojans lumped on 3 more runs in the bottom of the 4th, taking advantage of 3 walks and hits by Corey Dinunno (RBI double) and Joe Freiday (RBI single), making the score 6-2. Connolly faced the minimum in the 5th, 6th and 7th and the Trojans rolled to victory. Connolly allowed only 1 hit striking out 9 and allowed 6 walks. Durfee pitchers walked 8 Trojans leading me to believe the umpires strike zone was a little tighter than usual. Offensively the Trojans only mustered 6 hits with Corey Dinunno (2 for 3, double, 2 RBI's) and Jonathan Livolsi (2 for 2, double 1 RBI) leading the way. The Trojans will travel to Barnstable on Thursday to face the Red raiders in their final regular season game.

Trojans squeak out another win over DY

The Trojans improve to 16-2 after defeating the Dennis Yarmouth Dolphins 6-5 for the 2nd time in a weeks time, as they traveled to Red Wilson field in South Yarmouth. 


The Dolphins certainly were not intimidated by the defending D1 Champs as they battled to the end in both "too close for comfort" games. The Trojans Sophomore Mike Manning got his first Varsity start and the lefty earned the win, as he pitched 6 1/3 innings striking out 6 and made some great defensive plays. The Trojans stranded 2 in the first but grabbed the lead in the 2nd as they rallied for 2 runs with 2 outs on hits by Jonathan Livolsi, an RBI laser double by Jack Connolly who would score from second on a close play at the plate on a Tyler Carey single. The Trojans added another run in the 3rd on a Connnor Sullivan RBI single, but the Dolphins erased the 3 run deficit in the bottom of the 3rd having their own 2 out rally as they scored 3 runs on 4 hits before Manning struck out the remaining Dolphin to stop the bleeding. The score remained tied until the 7th as the Trojans had the top of the oprder due up, and they did not dissappoint as Tyler Carey (single), Andrew Noviello ( RBI single), Joe Freiday (single), and a Cory Wasylow (RBI FC) who would score a very important 6th run on a few Dolphin miscues and the Trojans had a comfy 3 run lead at 6-3. The Dolphins did not crumble though as they came to bat in the bottom of the 7th looking for answers. After giving up 2 singles Manning's day was done as Coach Kearney summonsed Monson from the bullpen. A Josh Monson walk would put the tying run at 1st and the winning run at the plate as this game had the makings a la DURFEE part duex! An RBI fielders choice would cut the lead to 2 and an untimely Trojan error would keep the Dolphins hopes alive cutting the lead to 1, but the veteran righty Monson would end this game on a 4 pitch strike out and the Trojans survived winning 6-5! 


Coach Kearney on the win "Mikey Manning coming up BIG today in his first Varsity start and Monson stepped up to secure the win!" 
The Trojans were led offensively by Connor Sullivan (3 for 4, 1 RBI), Tyler Carey (2 for 2, 1 RBI), Joe Freiday (2 for 3). 
The Trojans will host the Durfee High Hilltoppers on Wednesday as they seek revenge for the May 9th, 7-6 stunnning loss, as Durfee scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 7th to upset the then undefeated Trojans. Probable starter is Junior RHP Jack Connolly.

Magic Jack... The Sequel...


The Trojans improved to 14-1 on Thursday afternoon behind a masterful complete game 109 pitch performance by Notre Dame bound Junior Jack Connolly at Hank Pearson Field as the Trojans defeat the Dartmouth Indians. Coach Kearney summonsed his Ace as the Trojans were in the middle of their busiest week of the season. Connolly looked sharp in the first inning retiring 2 Indians via the K and then the Trojans came to bat in the bottom of the 1st looking to give their ace a cushion and that cushion came in the form of a Joe Freiday 3 run blast to center as he lasered an 0-2 fastball into the trees. Connolly faced the minimum in the 2nd inning despite giving up a walk as he picked off an Indian base runner leaning the wrong way. In the bottom of the second the bats were booming again as Tyler Carey striped one over the center field fence scoring Jonathan Livolsi (single) making the score 5-0. The score remained that way until the bottom of the 5th when Cory Wasylow would triple home Noviello and Freiday, who both singled, and would score on a wild pitch making the score 8-0 and the Trojans rolled to victory. Jack Connolly on the win "its great pitching with a lead" and "I can always rely on our offense". Connolly improves to 7-1 on the season with an ERA just over 1 and has 61 K's on the season in 41 1/3 innings pitched. Offensively the Trojans were led by Virginia Tech bound Captain Joe Freiday (2 for 4 with 3 RBI's and his 7th home run of the year), Cory Wasylow (2 for 3 with a triple and 2 RBI's), Jonathan Livolsi (2 for 3), and Tyler Careys 2 run home run (his 4th of the season)
Coach Kearney on the win ""Very solid win - best all-around game we've played in the last week or two ... against a hot team .... need to keep up this level of play going into the tournament"

Noviello.........15 K's........ Trojans Roll

This headline was earily similair to the headline a year ago that read " Noviello...16......strikeouts...". 




While the Junior RHP and UMaine commit Andrew Noviello didnt match his 16 K's from a year ago, this year he struck out 15 BATTERS in 6 innings as the Trojans run ruled the Hingham Harbormen 17-2,  with Senior Josh Monson providing the walkoff hit in the form of a gap double to right center in his first plate appearance of the season.
It was a beautiful sunny day at Hank Pearson field and the Trojans were looking to rebound from a tough loss against Stoughton the day prior. The Trojans put this game away early in the 2nd inning scoring 7 runs on hits by Sullivan, Livolsi (double), Jack Connolly, Corey Dinunno, back to back doubles by Noviello and Freiday, and capped off with a Connor Sullivan double, and this game was over early. The Trojans added a run in the 3rd and 4th and 2 in the 5th on a sac fly by Adam Chase and a Jonathan Livolsi RBI single, and then the flood gates opened in the bottom of the 6th as the Trojans lumped on 6 more runs on hits by Noviello, Joe Freiday, Cory Wasylow (RBI double), Adam Chase (RBI double), and capped off with a Josh Monson (yes you are reading this correctly) smashed double to the gap in right center for the walkoff win!
While the Trojans bats were booming (19 hits with 7 doubles) the real story line of the day was Junior RHP Andrew Noviello's pitching performance as he struck out 15 batters in 6 innings giving up only 2 hits and walking 4. So just to recap 15 out of the 18 outs came via the K!!!  OUTSTANDING JOB ANDREW!!
Defensively the Trojans performed flawlessly as they had no errors in the field. Multiple hitsmen for the Trojans were  Joe freiday (2 for 3, 4RBI's), Jonathan Livolsi (2 for 2, 2 RBI's), Andrew Noviello (2 for 5, 2 RBI's), Connor Sullivan and Jack Connollly (both 2 for 4 with 1 RBI),  Cory Wasylow (2 for 5, 1 RBI), and Corey Dinunno (2 for 3, 1 RBI).  
By the numbers: The Trojans are batting over .350 as a team with a .570 slugging % and have 19 home runs, 12 triples, and 24 doubles through 17 games.
Coach Kearney on the win "Great bounce back game! Novi 15 K's and 19-hit attack...much needed win."
The Trojans improve to 15-2 on the season and will wrap up next week as they play at Dennis Yarmouth (Monday), host Durfee (Wednesday), and finish the regular season at Barnstable (Thursday).

Trojans suffer 2nd loss of the season to Stoughton

The Trojans suffered their 2nd loss of the season as they fell to the Stoughton Black Knights, 6-4, on a rainy Friday afternoon at Hank Pearson Field.
The Trojans fell behing in the 1st inning as the Black Knights came to play scoring 3 runs on only 2 hits to take a 3-0 lead.  The score remained that way until the bottom of the 4th when the Trojans bats finally came to life as Tyler Carey lasered a no doubt home run to right field. After Corey Dinunno walked and advanced to 2nd on a wild pitch and with Joe Freiday at the plate representing the tying run, the Black Knights opted to intentionally walk Freiday and face Cory Wasylow......... MISTAKE......... Cory blasted his first home run of the season just out of reach of the center fielders grasp for a 3 run smash and the Trojans took a 4-3 lead.  With the rain coming down we go to the top of the 6th inning with the Black Knights looking for answers, and they found the answers scoring 3 runs off of 3 hits with the dagger being a Black Knight 2 RBI triple to right field.  The Trojans couldn't answer in the 6th or 7th and they fell to the Black Knights 6-4.
The Black Knights held the Trojans to only 3 hits, with 2 of them being home runs and they fall to 14-2 on the season.
The Trojans hope to rebound on Saturday as they host the Hingham Harbormen.

The Trojans had the top of their lineup coming to the plate, in the bottom half, and they did not dissapoint.

The score remined 4-3 until the bottom of the 4th when (who else but) Andrew Noviello would drive in 2 more (Jack Connolly single, and Tyler Carey single), and Joe Freiday would single home Noviello to make the score 6-4. The Dolphins added a run in the 5th but it wasn't enough as Cory Wasylow would knock in an insurance run making the score 7-5 and the Trojans held on for the W. Senior Shaun Bushlow made his first start of the year and performed admirably earning the win. Mike Manning pitched great for 1.2 innings and Andrew Noviello closed the door in the 7th earning the save. The Trojans were led offensively by Andrew Noviello (2 for 3 with 5 RBI's and home run), Joe Freiday (2 for 3 with a double and 1 RBI), Tyler Carey (2 for 4), and Cory Wasylow (2 for 4 with 1 RBI) 
Coach Kearney on the win ""Congrats to Shaun Bushlow on the win and solid relief from Mikey Manning and Andrew Noviello (3rd save) combined with timely offense led by Novi's 2-hit / 5 RBI game (3rd HR) & two hits also by Joey Freiday (RBI), Cory Wasylow (RBI) and Tyler Carey (2 runs)." Good win vs a D-Y team that had won 3 in a row and 4 out of last 5 ... "

Trojans jump back into the win column

The Trojans, looking to avenge a heartbreaking loss V Durfee the day before, jumped back into the win column on Saturday as they defeated the Hingham Harborman 10-5 at Cronin field in Hingham.  Jack Connolly got the start and the W as he cruised through 5 innings allowing 6 H's 2 BB's and striking out 7.
The Trojans jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first, taking advantage of a few Harborman miscues as Tyler Carey (hit by pitch) would score on a passed ball, and Joe Freiday would score on a Cory Wasylow double. The Trojans increased their lead in the 2nd as Connor Sullivan laid down a perfect bunt single and would be knocked home via an Adam Chase 2 run BOMB to left. Corey Dinunno followed it up with a double to left scoring pinch runner Kyle Horseman, Andrew Noviello would knock in Tyler Carey and a sac fly by Joe Freiday would knock in Corey Dinunno making the score 7-0, and would lump on 2 more in the 4th on RBI's by Cory Wasylow and Connor Sullivan, and a Tyler Carey opposite field home run in the 5th would make it 10-0.  The Harborman responded scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th on 3 singles a HBP and sac fly to make it 10-3. Coach Kearney went to the bullpen and brought in Junior Andrew Noviello as Connolly's day was done.  Noviello retired the side in the 6th and the Harborman lumped on 2 runs in the 9th on a 2 RBI home run to left, but it was too little too late and the Trojans rolled to a 10-5 win.
Offensively the Trojans had multiple hitsmen including Tyler Carey (2 for 4 with a HR), Adam Chase (2 for 4 with 2 RBI's and HR), Connor Sullivan (2 for 4), Corey Dinunno (2 for 4 with a double and RBI), and Cory Wasylow (2 for 3 with a double and 2 RBI's).

Durfee Downs Trojans

An undefeated season it will not be for the Trojans as they fall to the Durfee High Hilltoppers in a very exciting game that ended via the walk off. The Trojans traveled to BMC Durfee High School after a 6 day layoff sporting an undefeated and very shiny 11-0 record to face off against 6-7 Hilltoppers on a cloudy Friday afternoon.
This game had the makings of a good ole fashion pitchers duel. The Trojans had a huge opportunity in the top of the 1st, but would strand the bases loaded with no outs. The game remained scoreless until the bottonm of the 4th when the Hilltoppers struck first scoring a run on 1 hit. The Trojans answered immediately knotting the score at 1 when Jonathan Livolsi would knock in Connor Sullivan. The Trojans came to the plate in the top of the 7th looking for the go ahead run, and found that and more as they piled on 5 runs on walks by Adam Chase and Mikey Manning, followed up by a bunt single by Jonathan Livolsi, Tyler Carey would single Home pinch runner Cam Polson, followed by an RBI single by Corey Dinunno and a sac fly by Andrew Noviello, making the score 4-1. Cory Wasylow and Cam Polson would knock in 2 more runs putting the game "OUT OF REACH" at 6-1. The Hilltoppers had 2 chances of winning this game, slim and none!! They came to the plate in the 7th and were greeted by a Josh Monson K which was his 5th of the night. A few walks, a hit,  and a reached on error later and Monsons day was done (94 pitches, 6 H's 4 BB's 5 K's). The Hilltoppers would tie the game on a laser double to center field, just out of the reach of a diving Tyler Carey, that cleared the bases!! 2 singles later and this game was over as the Hilltoppers jubilantly celebrated the very exciting walk off win. Slim won!
Jack Connolly Suffers the loss and falls to 5-1 on the season and will look for revenge tomorrow against the Hingham Harbormen. Coach Kearney on the loss "tough loss but not the end of the world and hopefully a character builder as to how we respond tomorrow." The Trojans fall to 11-1 on the season and hope to return to their winning ways on Saturday as they travel to Hingham for an 11:00 AM start.

Hot Bats Lead Trojans to victory

The Trojans bats were booming as they rolled to a 12-2 victory over the Brockton High Boxers to remain undefeated (11-0) on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Hank Pearson Field.

The Trojans jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st inning when  Tyler Carey (stealing 3rd) would score on an errant Boxer throw. The Boxers threatened to take the lead in the 2nd, but would only score one run on 3 hits and a walk, and could have been more, but right fielder Cory Wasylow lasered a strike to a patiently waiting Jonathan Livolsi, at 3rd (on a boxer single) to quell the threat! The Trojans added 4 runs in the bottom of the 3rd on an RBI single by Corey Dinunno, a 2 RBI fielders choice by Joe Freiday and a Cory Wasylow triple to center field to take a 5-1 lead. The Trojans added a run in the bottom of the 4th as Jonathan Livolsi would knock in Adam Chase on a sac fly, and added 4 more in the bottom of the 5th on a Joe Freiday solo shot no doubter home run to center and an Adam Chase 3 RBI bomb to left to put the game out of reach. The Trojans globbed on 2 more runs in the 6th as Joe Freiday hit another home run to right making the score 12-1.
Junior Jack Connolly pitched brilliantly through 6 innings striking out 9 and only allowing 1 walk, but his day was done after  throwing exactly 100 pitches.  Senior Josh Monson came on to pitch the 7th and the Trojans rolled to victory.
Connolly improves to 5-0 on the season with a minuscule ERA. Offensively the Trojans were led by Senior Captain Joe Freiday (2 for 4 with 2 HR, 5 RBI's, and 3 runs scored), Corey Dinunno (2 for 3 with an RBI), Cory Wasylow (2 for 3 with an RBI), and Adam Chase (BOMB home run, 3 RBI's and 2 runs scored). The Trojans have some well deserved rest as they dont play again until next Friday as they travel to Durfee.

Trojans dodge bullet and escape with 6-3 win!

The Trojans dodged a bullet on Friday afternoon and escaped with a 6-3 win over a very talented Acton Boxboro squad thanks in part to a complete game pitching performance by Junior Andrew Noviello and some timely hitting! The Trojans trekked their way to Acton Boxboro High School riding a 9 game winning streak, their confidence level at an all time high and feeling infallible. This game had the makings of a pitchers duel, as both teams allowed minimal baserunners through 3 1/2 innings. The Colonials would strike first scoring a run on a walk and 2 hits before Noviello would strike out the side. The Trojans would immediately answer ijn the top of the 5th as Cam Polson (Pinch runner for Adam Chase) would scamper home from 1st on a Tyler Carey stand up triple, knotting the score at 1. The score remained tied entering the 7th inning when the Trojans would score 5 runs on hits by Connor Sullivan (bunt), Adam Chase, Kevin Newton an RBI walk by Jack Connolly, 2 RBI single by Corey Dinunno, and a 2 RBI single by Joe Freiday to make the score 6-1. The Colonials would answer bringing 7 men to the plate, including the tying run, but Noviello would induce a game ending ground ball to first and the Trojans held on for the W. Coach Kearney on the win "good character building win to overcome some mistakes and beat a very good team on the road".
Offensively the Trojans were led by Adam Chase with 3 hits, Corey Dinunno and Joe Freiday with 2 rbis each. Andrew Noviello struck out 12 in the complete game win. 
The Trojans improve to 10-0 and square off against the Brockton Boxers on Saturday at Hank Pearson field.
