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).
