The Trojans defeated the Durfee High Hilltoppers on Thursday, 8-4, at Hank Pearson Field, but lost some pitching depth as Junior Chris Newman suffered an unknown injury to his shoulder, as he began warm ups in the bullpen, and will likely be sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Senior Andrew Noviello would be a last second replacement for Newman and he did not disappoint as he breezed through the first 2 innings. It was a different story in the 3rd as the Hilltoppers, who knocked the Trojans off their undefeated 11-0 record last year, would jump out to a 3-1 lead as they scored 3 runs off 3 hits and 2 BB's. The Trojans rebounded in a big way scoring 6 runs off singles by Trahon and Connolly, who would both be knocked in by a Cory Wasylow 3 run BOMB home run and a Kyle Horsman RBI single to take a lead they would not relinquish at 7-3 and the Trojans rolled to victory.
Offensively the Trojans were led by Mikey Manning (2-4 with a triple, 2 runs scored and a walk), Colin Trahon (3-4 and scored twice) and Cory Wasylow's 3 RBI Home run.
The Trojans improve to 11-1 and will host the Brockton Boxers on Monday. Probable starter is Mikey Manning.
