Trojans remain unbeaten!

The Trojans improve to 6-0 on the early 2015 season as they defeated the Plymouth North Eagles 5-2 in the Championship game of the Brad Martin Tournament on a windy day at Plymouth North High School. On the hill for his second start of the season was Senior Captain Jack Connolly.
The Trojans jumped out to and early 3-0 lead in the bottom of the second. Leading off with a stand up triple, to help himself out, was none other than Captain Connolly.  Left Fielder Manning drew a walk and advanced to 2nd on a fielders choice, while Connolly scored the first run of the game. A one out RBI single by Senior Kyle Horsman scored Manning (2-0 BR). Junior Nick Andrews hit a fielders choice grounder to third and Plymouth got the lead runner Horsman out at 2nd. Andrews advanced to third, after a two out stolen base, followed by a passed ball. Sophomore Colin Trahon drew a two out walk and a ball four passed ball plated Andrews making the Trojan lead 3-0 through  two innings.

Connolly looked dominate on the rubber sitting down 6 Plymouth North hitters by way of the K through 5 innings. The Trojans Ace faced 18 hitters without surrendering a hit. That all changed in the bottom of the 6th as Plymouth North shortstop Colin Nicklas hit a 3-2 slider that looked like a routine fly out but never came down. The ball carried 400+ feet over the left field wall for a solo home-runand the Trojans lead was cut to 3-1.

Connolly followed the home run with a walk. After an E3 pickoff attempt, the second run scurried across the plate for Plymouth North on an RBI single. Connolly got out of the jam with a strike out.

The Trojans were shut down after 4 and could only muster three hits in the last 3 innings. Coach Kearney let his starter finish the game securing the Trojans third straight Brad Martin Tournament win in 3 years. Connolly ended the game himself throwing two straight looking strikeouts followed by two walks and a chopper back to him 1U and the Trojans rolled to a 5-2 victory.
