Trojans season crashes to an end

The Trojans season came crashing to an end on Sunday night as the Braintree Wamps knocked off the defending D1 champs ending their season and squashing their hopes of another championship. The Trojans jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the 2nd when Sr. Captain Joe Freiday (double) would score on a Connor Sullivan Sac fly. The Wamps immediately answered scoring 3 runs on 3 hits, a sac fly and HBP, added 1 run in the 5th, and 3 more in the 7th to put the game out of reach. The Trojans added a run in the 7th on a Jonathan Livolsi RBI single (scoring Cory Wasylow), but it was too little too late and the Wamps rolled to a 9-2 victory. Jack Connolly suffers the loss for B-R, going seven innings and allowing seven runs – four earned – on nine hits with one walk and 11 strikeouts, but also hit three batters. 
The Trojans offense was sluggish as they could only muster 4 hits. 
The future definitely looks bright as the Trojans will return their co-Aces Notre Dame bound Jack Connolly and Umaine bound Andrew Noviello, both of whom have been a cog on the BR pitching staff for 3 years. Sophomores Chris Newman and Lefty Mike Manning will certainly fill the void left by Sr. Josh Monson.
