Noviello's TWO Grand Slams lifts BR to victory.

Game 2 of Saturdays Double header had a much different result than game 1,as the Trojans rebounded nicely from back to back shutouts scoring 14 runs on 10 hits, defeating the DY Dolphins 14-6.
The Trojans found themselves in an early hole, as the Dolphins scored a run in the first and 2 in the second, making the score 3-0.
After a 15 minute rain delay, the Trojans bats would come to life in the 3rd. Tyler Carey led off with a single followed by a few walks to load the bases for Dave Miller who would knock in a run. The bases remained loaded for Sophomore Andrew Noviello who would hammer a 1-1 pitch over the right field fence for a Grand Salamie, making the score 5-3 (his first home run of the season). The Trojans tacked on 4 more runs on hits by Adam Chase, Mike Clifford, and a double by Joe Freiday to advance the lead to 9-3.
The "nail in the coffin" came in the 7th, as Andrew Noviello came to the plate, again with the bases loaded, and launched an 0-2 pitch over the right field fence for his second grand slam of the game, and the Trojans rolled to a 14-6 victory.
Junior Josh Monson improves to 2-0 on the season striking out 5 and giving up 0 walks.
Multiple hits men for the Trojans were Joe Freiday (single, double) and Andrew Noviello (two grand slams, 8 RBI's and 4 stolen bases).
The Trojans return to OCL action on Tuesday as they face off against the Dartmouth Indians at Hank Pearson Field.
