Let Down....

After coming off a playoff type-of atmosphere on Wednesday, with a 4-2 Win over the East Bridgewater Vikings, the Trojans traveled 'over the bridge' to square up against the Red Raiders of Barnstable on Thursday and suffered their 2nd loss of the season. 

Getting his second start of the year for the Trojans was Senior RHP Andrew Noviello. After allowing the first two baserunners to reach in the bottom of the first, Barnstable struck first with an unearned run. Noviello got the next three to retire the inning and the Trojans trailed 1-0. The Trojans bats struggled offensively trying to adjust to the speed difference after facing a strong, hard throwing Connor Gavin for EB. The Trojans had 4 baserunners through the first 4 innings of play only one of which advanced past 2nd base. After a brisk top of the fourth, Noviello was back out and had a quick inning of his own.

In the bottom of the 5th the Trojans fell apart mentally allowing two unearned runs and giving up an infield single and BR trailed 3-0 through 5.

The Trojans, who entered play on an 8-game win streak with 86 runs for and 28 against, bats were silent until the top of the 6th. After two back to back singles for Colin Trahon and Noviello, Senior Jack Connolly hit a blast to left field over the head and fence for a RBI Ground-Ruled double but it was too little too late and the Trojans faltered.

TheTrojans hope to bounce back on Friday, as they travel to Fall River to play the Durfee High Hilltoppers. Probable starter is Mikey Manning.
