BR returns to their winning ways!

The Trojans rebounded nicely today, from back to back losses last week, by  shutting out the Barnstable Red Raiders (5-2) Tuesday afternoon in their first Old Colony League game, behind a strong pitching performance by Sophomore Jack Connolly(3-1) by a score of 8-0.
While the Trojans never had a break out inning, they scored "one at time" through out the game, starting in the first inning when Senior Co-Captain Dave Miller singled home Tyler Carey to take the early lead and score the only run the Trojans would need.  The Trojans added 1 in the 2nd, and 2 in the 3rd on RBi's by Pat Nee and Tyler Carey (double), and would add another run in the 5th on hits by Corey Dinunno and Connor Sullivan. In the 7th they added 2 more runs on another Corey Dinunno single and a Tyler (what have you done for me lately) Carey Sac Fly.  The Red Raiders threatened loading the bases twice and stranding several base runners as Jack Connolly (117 pitches (74 for strikes)) and the Trojans defense thwarted the idea of giving up any runs.  Sophomore Andrew Noviello came in for relief in the 9th inning, and the Trojans returned to the win column.
Coach Kearney on the win... "Great big time pitching performance by Jack C, and one of the better overall games BR Baseball has had in a couple of years- Everyone contibuted!"
Unofficial attendance at today's game was 243ish (.....LOL...)
The Trojans continue Old Colony League action on Thursday as they face Dartmouth at 4:00 at Dartmouth High School, and then face Brockton on Friday.
Multiple hitsmen for the Trojans were Tyler Carey (2 for 3 with 2 RBI's, a run scored, a double,  and a HBP), Corey Dinunno (2 for 4 with 2 runs scored), and Connor Sullivan (2 for 3 with 2 RBI's and 2 runs scored).
