Mikey "Baseball"!!!!!

Leaders are supposed to "LEAD", Captains are supposed to "set an example", and Mikey Baseball did both on Monday afternoon.  Senior Co-Captain Mikey (Baseball) Bruemmel, LED the Trojans to victory against the Brockton Boxers, pitching a combined 1 hit shutout, only walking 2 and striking out 10, in his "best" performance of the season!
The Trojans marched their way into Campanelli Stadium on Monday, with a confidence level near an all time high, their senior on the mound, and facing a dejected Brockton team!
This game had the makings of a pitchers duel, as the game remained scoreless through 4 innings. In the top of the 5th the BR bats came alive when the Boxers pitching started a little shaky giving up a 2 walks, and a Tyler Carey infield hit to make the BR lead 1-0. Joe Freiday would knock in 2 runs with a single to make the score 3-0. Dave Miller would smoke a double to Left that would eventually score Freiday, and a McSherry walk would score Dave Miller, to make the score 5-0.  The Trojans would add another run in the 6th on a Dave Miller single to put the game out of reach 6-0.
Mikey "Baseball" would defer to fellow Senior Cody Medeiros, to finish the game in the 7th.  Cody has been patiently waiting for his chance, recovering from a torn labrum, that has kept him sidelined all year, and he did not dissapoint.  He threw 9 pitches, all for strikes, striking out 2, and inducing a ground out, back to none other than himself, to end the game.
“He was incredible,” said B-R coach John Kearney (of Bruemmel). “By far his best performance of the year and maybe of his career. He was just in command of all three of his pitches the entire game.” "Pitching and defense... Mike Bruemmel HUGE game... No errors.. Nice to see Cody M back too" Coach Kearney added.
The Trojans improve to 14-4 as they try to align their pitching rotation towards the post season.  They will finish their season at home, as they face  Marshfield on Wednesday and Hingham on Thursday, both at Hank Pearson field.
Multiple hitsmen for the Trojans were Tyler Carey (leads the team in hitting), Dave Miller and Connor Sullivan.
