The Trojans fell to the Newton North Tigers 7-5 on Friday afternoon at Rockland Stadium in the semi finals of the inaugural Super 8 Tournament, and will play in an elimination game on Sunday.
The Trojans fell in an early hole in the bottom of the 2nd as Newton North exploded for 4 runs on 5 hits a walk and a HBP. The Trojans would cut the deficit in half as Cory Wasylow (single) would score on a Jonathan Livolsi 2 run laser home run over the RF fence. Coach Kearney summonsed Senior Josh Monson from the bullpen, to start the 4th, as Noviellos day was done. The Trojans came to the plate in the top of the 6th, looking for answers, as Corey Dinunno (single), Andrew Noviello (single), and Joe Freiday (walk) would set the stage for Senior Adam Chase who would laser a long fly ball to left that would score Dinunno. Connor Sullivan would knock in Noviello on a single to left field and this game was tied!!! The bottom of the 7th inning wasn't so friendly to the Trojans as back to back errors to start the inning opened the doors for the Tigers who scored 2 runs on 0 hits and a sac fly to take a 6-4 lead! The Tigers added an important insurance run in the 8th and the Trojans were down to their last 3 outs! The baseball Gods tried their hardest to help the Trojans as Connor Sullivan would open the inning reaching 1b on a drop 3rd strike, followed by a Cory Wasylow walk bringing the tying run to the plate. A fly out and strike out would bring the top of the order to the plate in the form of Senior Tyler Carey, who would be grazed by a pitch and would trot to first loading the bases. Corey Dinunno would take an 0-1 pitch to right for an RBI single making the score 7-5, but thats the way it would end as a groundout 4-3 would end the game.
The Trojans will try to stave off elimination on Sunday at 6:00 at Campanelli Stadium as they face off against a talented young Braintree team
