Joe Freiday's 2 Home Runs Leads BR to 9-2 Victory!

The Trojans defeated the Brockton Boxers 9-2 on Friday afternoon (ironically improving to 9-2) at Hank Pearson Field, as Joe Freiday had a good Friday (ironically?) going 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and 3 RBI's and 3 runs scored, to lead the Trojans offense.

The Trojans got on the board in the bottom of the 2nd scoring 2 runs on a Joe Freiday laser home run (5th HR), and a Pat Nee Sac Fly (scoring Dave Miller) . The Boxers would answer in the top of the 4th scoring 2 runs on 1 hit and a couple of walks to "make it interesting" tying the game at 2.  Senior Co Captain Mike Bruemmel came in for relief of Junior Josh Monson in the 5th, and the game remained tied until the bottom of the 5th when Mike Bruemmel singled to right field, stole 2nd, and would score on a 2 run home run by Freiday! The BR bats would erupt in the bottom of the 6th as pinch hitter Adam Chase would  hammer a 2-1 pitch over the center field fence (2nd HR) to make it 5-2. The Trojans added 3 more runs, in the bottom of the 6th,  to put the game out of reach on a line drive single by Mikey Clifford, several walks,  and a single by Cory Wasylow.  Bruemmel would strike out the side in the 7th and that was
that. Josh Monson only gave up 2 hits and struck out 4 (no decision), and Mike Bruemmel looked fantastic, only giving up 1 hit and striking out 5 in 3 innings of work and got the win.
The Trojans have a busy week ahead, as they have 4 games scheduled starting with Durfee on Tuesday, Barnstable on Thursday, and then a double header Saturday (at home) against DY. Probable starter on Tuesday is Sophomore Jack Connolly.
