Trojans win a nail biter!!

The Trojans advanced to 4-0 on the season after defeating New Bedford Whalers 9-7 in a 7 Inning nail biter at Hank Pearson Field.

The Whalers took the early lead 1-0 in the top of the first inning, when the Trojans Answered in the bottom of the first inning with a Joe Freiday 2 run home run.

The Whalers tied the score in the top of the third inning only to have the Trojans answer in the bottom of the third inning with two more runs on hits by Tyler Carey, Tyler Glavine and Joe Freiday making the score 4-2. The Whalers would put up 2 runs in the top of the 4th to knot the score at 4. The Trojans would retake the lead back with a BIG inning in the bottom of the 5th with a Connor Sullivan walk, singles by Tyler Carey and Tyler Glavin, Sac fly by Andrew Noviello, and Joe Freiday walk to load the bases for Senior Co-Captain Mikey Bruemmel who lasered a 2 RBI single to center scoring Carey and Glavin. Adam Chase would knock in Freiday and the Trojans would lead 8-4.
The Never say die Whalers would answer putting up 3 runs in the top of the 6th making the score 8-7, and wanting more, when Coach Kearney went to the bullpen, as Bruemmels day was done (121 pitches). With the tying run on 2nd, Sophomore Jack Connolly would only need to throw 1 pitch as a whaler lined one down the first base line as Brian (Superman) McSherry threw on his cape and saved the day, and made the defensive play of the year, making the out un-assisted. The Trojans would score an insurance run in the bottom of the 6th with hits by Pat Nee, Tyler Glavin, and Andrew Noviello to make the score 9-7. As darkness was falling, Jack Connolly would close the door striking out the last two batters to EARN the save!
That was by far the most exciting game of the year as both teams "wanted" the win!
Coach Kearney on the win--"Great game and good win over a tough NB team ! Bruemmel and Connolly nice job pitching - Freiday, Glavin led way offensively - McSherry play of the game on defense to save the lead ! 4-0 baby !!"
Joe Freiday went 2 for 2 with 3 RBI's, Tyler Glavin remained red hot going 3 for 4, Tyler Carey went 2 for 4, and Mike Bruemmel had 2 RBIs to "help himself out" as he improves to 2-0 on the season!!!
Weather permitting the Trojans will face Hingham Friday at 4:00.
