Trojans roll on to the Semi-Finals!

#5 ranked Trojans roll on to the semi finals of the MIAA D1 South State Tournament behind a very strong combined shutout pitching performance (18K's total) led by Sophomore Andrew Noviello's 6 innings of work (hitting 91 on the gun), defeating the # 4 ranked Braintree Wamps Tuesday evening, by a score of 12-0, at Braintree High School.
The Trojans jumped out to an early lead in the top of the 2nd when Brian McSherry  would score on a Corey Dinunno single.  The game remained 1-0 until the top of the 5th when Joe Freiday would double home Tyler Glavin, Dave Miller would knock in Joe Freiday with a single, and Andrew Noviello would knock in Ross Talpy who pinch ran for McSherry, to make the lead 4-0.
Andrew Noviello threw 6 innings of shutout work throwing 126 pitches, striking out 11 and walking 5, and was replaced in the 7th by Mikey (Baseball) Bruemmel, who continued right where he left off, striking out 6 of the 7 batters he faced and looked terrific! The Trojans would head to the 9th with a 4-0 lead and would explode for 8 runs led by Senior Brian McSherry who doubled to lead off the inning and then smashed a 3 run (no doubter) home run  to right center field to cap off the 8 run inning.
Senior Cody Medairos came in and closed the door in the 9th to seal the deal.
This game was a lot closer than the final score showed as a gutsy Braintree team, who has 8 seniors graduating, played a very good game.  They have a very young pitching staff, led by 3 Sophomores and a Freshman, and should be a tough team to beat over the coming years.
Leading the offense for the Trojans were Mike Bruemmel (4 for 6, 3 singles, a double, RBI and run scored), Brian McSherry (3 for 5, single, double, Home Run, 3 RBI's and 3 runs scored), Tyler Glavin 2 for 6, 1 RBI, 2 runs scored), Joe Freiday (2 for 5, single, double, 1 RBI, 2 runs scored), and Andrew Noviello (2 for 5, 3 RBI's).
There is no rest for the weary as the Trojans jump in to D1 South Semi-Finals as they face # 1 ranked Walpole at Campanelli Stadium in Brockton, Wednesday for a 4:00 start.  Sophomore Jack Connolly will get the start. BC High faces Dartmouth in the 7:00 game.
