BR TROJANS WIN AGAIN!!

Sophomore Jack Connolly pitched a complete game, 10 strikeout performance, only giving up 5 hits and 1 earned run, in an ugly win over the New Bedford Whalers in the first game of the Brad Martin Memorial Tournament at Siever Field in Plymouth on Tuesday afternoon. 
This wasn't the prettiest of wins, but a win is a win.
 As the golf saying goes, "they don't draw pictures on the scorecard". 
The Trojans found themselves in a hole early on in the 1st inning as the Whalers jumped out to a 2-0 lead.  The Trojans would get 1 run back when Junior Corey Dinunno laid down a perfect bunt, and would eventually score on an errant Whaler throw. The Trojans would tie the score in the top of the 5th on a laser home run by Junior Tyler Carey (2nd of the season), that went in and out of the glove of the Center fielder (great effort) and went over the fence.  

The Whalers would answer and retake the lead in the bottom of the 5th to make the score 2-3. The Trojans would score 2 runs in the top of the 6th when an Adam Chase walk, Senior Co-Captain Dave Miller double, and a Mike Bruemmel RBI  single would make the score 4-3.  The Trojans would seal the deal in the top of the 7th when Tyler Carey and Corey Dinunno (both hit by pitch) would score on an Adam Chase bomb 3 run Home Run "off the bus" (waking the bus driver)!  The Trojans added 2  more runs when Mike Bruemmel tripled and Connor Sullivan singled, to end any doubt and make the score 9-3.
The Whalers would threaten in the Bottom of the 7th loading the bases and scoring a run but the Trojans held on and ended the game with a 6-4-3 (Miller-Sullivan-Chase) double play.
The Trojans remain undefeated and improve to 5-0 early on in this season, and will face Silver Lake (also 5-0) in the battle of the unbeatens, in the Championship game at 2:00 on Thursday at Siever Field.

 Mike Bruemmel led the offense going 2-3 with a triple and 2 RBI's and Tyler Carey went 2 for 3 with a Home Run!

Go Figure........ There are 12 Trojans batting over .333
