Durfee Downs Trojans

An undefeated season it will not be for the Trojans as they fall to the Durfee High Hilltoppers in a very exciting game that ended via the walk off. The Trojans traveled to BMC Durfee High School after a 6 day layoff sporting an undefeated and very shiny 11-0 record to face off against 6-7 Hilltoppers on a cloudy Friday afternoon.
This game had the makings of a good ole fashion pitchers duel. The Trojans had a huge opportunity in the top of the 1st, but would strand the bases loaded with no outs. The game remained scoreless until the bottonm of the 4th when the Hilltoppers struck first scoring a run on 1 hit. The Trojans answered immediately knotting the score at 1 when Jonathan Livolsi would knock in Connor Sullivan. The Trojans came to the plate in the top of the 7th looking for the go ahead run, and found that and more as they piled on 5 runs on walks by Adam Chase and Mikey Manning, followed up by a bunt single by Jonathan Livolsi, Tyler Carey would single Home pinch runner Cam Polson, followed by an RBI single by Corey Dinunno and a sac fly by Andrew Noviello, making the score 4-1. Cory Wasylow and Cam Polson would knock in 2 more runs putting the game "OUT OF REACH" at 6-1. The Hilltoppers had 2 chances of winning this game, slim and none!! They came to the plate in the 7th and were greeted by a Josh Monson K which was his 5th of the night. A few walks, a hit,  and a reached on error later and Monsons day was done (94 pitches, 6 H's 4 BB's 5 K's). The Hilltoppers would tie the game on a laser double to center field, just out of the reach of a diving Tyler Carey, that cleared the bases!! 2 singles later and this game was over as the Hilltoppers jubilantly celebrated the very exciting walk off win. Slim won!
Jack Connolly Suffers the loss and falls to 5-1 on the season and will look for revenge tomorrow against the Hingham Harbormen. Coach Kearney on the loss "tough loss but not the end of the world and hopefully a character builder as to how we respond tomorrow." The Trojans fall to 11-1 on the season and hope to return to their winning ways on Saturday as they travel to Hingham for an 11:00 AM start.
