Monson's Complete Game carries Trojans to Victory

6' 3" 210Lb Senior Josh Monson pitched a complete game, 99 pitch, 2hit, 10 K, 0 walk performance on Monday night to lead the defending DI State Champion Trojans to victory on a breezy/chilly victory on Monday night helping the Trojans improve to 2-0 early on this young season at Paul Walsh Field in New Bedford.  

The temperature was supposed to be in the upper 50's, but the clouds rolled in and the wind was blowing and it felt like it was in the upper 30's.

The Trojans jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first when Junior Cory Wasylow would single home Junior Andrew Noviello. 

The score would remain the same through 5 innings as both pitchers settled in for the makings of a pitchers duel.  To the top of the 6th we go, and Senior Tyler Carey (HBP) would score from 2nd on a smash triple off the right center field fence, by Andrew Noviello, to increase the Trojan lead.  Senior Co-Captain Joe Freiday would leg out an RBI double to right center, scoring Noviello, to increase the Trojan lead to 3-0.  The Trojans added an RBI by Senior Co-Captain Cory Dinunno, scoring Connor Sullivan, to pad the lead by 4!  The Whalers scraped an unearned run in the bottom of the 7th, but it wasn't enough and the Trojans rolled to victory!

Coach Kearney on the win.." Great start by Josh Monson against a very good New Bedford team! Complete game 2 hitter with 10 K's, Andrew Noviello and Joey Freiday led the way offensively with 2 hits and an RBI each- Good solid win today!!"

Monson improves to 1-0 on the season and pitching a complete game will help save the Trojan pitching staff for the busy week ahead, as they face Brockton on Wednesday and Lincoln Sudbury on Thursday at a site TBD.   Probable starter for Wednesday is Andrew Noviello.
