The Trojans won their first playoff game, against a gutsy Attleboro team, behind the leadership of their senior Co-Captain Mike Bruemmels strong 3 inning pitching performance and 3 hits on Friday afternoon in a packed house at Hank Pearson field on a scorching day in May.
Game time temperature was a steamy 90 degrees with a slight breeze in from center field. The tents were up and the coolers were packed!
The Trojans jumped out to an early lead in the bottom of the first when Tyler Carey would score on a Mike Bruemmel Fielders choice to make the score 1-0. The Trojans added 2 more in the bottom of the 3rd on an RBI single by Mike Bruemmel, a wall ball double by Joe Freiday, and a sac fly by Dave Miller to make the score 3-0. As the Trojans were cruising to victory, the Bombadiers were not ready to roll over and die, as they put up 4 runs in the 5th on 5 hits, to take. 4-3 lead. Starting pitcher Sophomore Jack Connolly's day (103 pitches) was done as Coach Kearney went to the bullpen, bringing in the patiently waiting Junior Josh Monson. Josh gave up a single, struck out the next batter, picked the runner off of first, and then struck out the last Bombadier for a very efficient 1-2-3 inning. Down 4-3 Kearney called Senior Mike Bruemmel in to pitch the 7th and he did not disappoint, having a 1-2-3 inning of his own striking out 2. In the bottom of the 7th the Trojans exploded for 4 runs on hits by Franklin Pierce bound Tyler Glavin (3 for 4 on the day), Wheaton College bound Mike Bruemmel (3 for 5 with 2 RBI's), a Joe Freiday double (2 for 4, 1 RBI), and Eastern Connecticut University bound Dave Miller ( 1 for 2 with 3 huge RBI's), Cory Wasylow single, and Senior Ryan Scripter clutch RBI double to regain the lead 7-4. Bruemmel came back to strike out the side in the 8th, and strike out 2 out of 3 in the 9th to seal the deal, and save the day! BR wins! BR wins!
Coach Kearney on the win "Great TEAM win! Monson and Bruemmel great in relief... Joe Freiday excellent game behind the dish...NO ERRORS on defense. Offense good when it had to be, especially 2-6 hitters!"
As any Senior athlete comes to realize one day they will play their last game as a high school athlete (sob sob), hopefully going out on a high note, and the Seniors came to play and PERFORMED! Wheaton College is very lucky to be getting Mikey baseball on their team!
The Trojans will travel to Braintree High to face the Wamps, Monday night at 6:00PM.
