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.
