Bruemmel powers Trojans to D1 State Championship!

The Trojans dominate Nashoba behind Mike Bruemmel's 12 strikeout, 2 hit, complete game shutout and capture the Division 1 State Championship!
Pinch me, pinch me!  We are playing for the D1 State Championship at LeLacheur Park (Home of the Spinners), and I really can't believe we made it here.  If you told me on April 2nd that we could or would do it, I would've waved my hand at you as if I was swatting a fly buzzing around my head.

What I was about to witness was almost as unbelievable, as Senior Co-Captain Mike Bruemmel, who will be attending Wheaton College in the fall, grabbed the ball from Coach Kearney's hand, and pitched the game of his life, throwing a COMPLETE game shutout.  Bruemmel flirted with a no hitter through 7 innings, but the no hit bid was thwarted in the 8th.
The Trojans jumped on the board in the top of the 3rd when Corey Dinunno (single) would score on an RBI single by, none other than himself, Mike Bruemmel to take a 1-0 lead. The Trojans added 2 more runs in the top of the 4th, on hits by Senior Brian McSherry who advanced to 2nd on a wild pitch, and would score on an infield Chieftan error on a hard hit ball by Tyler Carey, who ended up on 2nd.  Sophomore Andrew Noviello would knock home Carey with a laser 1 RBI double to left.
Bruemmel kept the Nashoba hitters off balance locating his "down and away" fastball, curve and changeup, keeping them guessing. 
The Chieftans came to the plate in the bottom of the 8th, hitless and looking for answers, when Chieftan Jack Sarnosky strode to the plate and singled  to center field and breaking up the no hit bid!  The crowd at LeLacheur park rose the their feet (from both sides) and saluted the lefty Senior for his efforts! 

Brummel struck out the next batter, and with 1 out, a runner on first, a full count, and Chieftans grasping for something, they put the hit and run on, and the Trojans executed a perfect strikem out, throwem out, Bruemmel to Freiday who lasered a perfect throw to Shortstop Tyler Glavin who slapped the tag on Sarnosky killing the threat!
The Trojans added an insurance run in the top of the ninth When Cory Wasylow (single) would be knocked in by who else but Mike Bruemmel! Coach Kearney had the option of putting in Senior Cody Medairos to close the door, but Mikey Bruemmel had pitched such an efficient game, only throwing 89 pitches through 8 innings, so he left him in.

To the 9th inning we go.  Bruemmel struck out the first batter on 3 pitches, gave up a harmless single, induced a fly ball to right, and struck out the last batter for the complete game win!!!  Mike took a few steps towards the dugout, fell to his knees and was swarmed/dogpiled by his team mates.
Pinch me, pinch me...... It wasn't a dream, but a reality! We are STATE CHAMPS.... WE ARE BR!!!
