Trojans squeak out another win over DY

The Trojans improve to 16-2 after defeating the Dennis Yarmouth Dolphins 6-5 for the 2nd time in a weeks time, as they traveled to Red Wilson field in South Yarmouth. 

The Dolphins certainly were not intimidated by the defending D1 Champs as they battled to the end in both "too close for comfort" games. The Trojans Sophomore Mike Manning got his first Varsity start and the lefty earned the win, as he pitched 6 1/3 innings striking out 6 and made some great defensive plays. The Trojans stranded 2 in the first but grabbed the lead in the 2nd as they rallied for 2 runs with 2 outs on hits by Jonathan Livolsi, an RBI laser double by Jack Connolly who would score from second on a close play at the plate on a Tyler Carey single. The Trojans added another run in the 3rd on a Connnor Sullivan RBI single, but the Dolphins erased the 3 run deficit in the bottom of the 3rd having their own 2 out rally as they scored 3 runs on 4 hits before Manning struck out the remaining Dolphin to stop the bleeding. The score remained tied until the 7th as the Trojans had the top of the oprder due up, and they did not dissappoint as Tyler Carey (single), Andrew Noviello ( RBI single), Joe Freiday (single), and a Cory Wasylow (RBI FC) who would score a very important 6th run on a few Dolphin miscues and the Trojans had a comfy 3 run lead at 6-3. The Dolphins did not crumble though as they came to bat in the bottom of the 7th looking for answers. After giving up 2 singles Manning's day was done as Coach Kearney summonsed Monson from the bullpen. A Josh Monson walk would put the tying run at 1st and the winning run at the plate as this game had the makings a la DURFEE part duex! An RBI fielders choice would cut the lead to 2 and an untimely Trojan error would keep the Dolphins hopes alive cutting the lead to 1, but the veteran righty Monson would end this game on a 4 pitch strike out and the Trojans survived winning 6-5! 

Coach Kearney on the win "Mikey Manning coming up BIG today in his first Varsity start and Monson stepped up to secure the win!" 
The Trojans were led offensively by Connor Sullivan (3 for 4, 1 RBI), Tyler Carey (2 for 2, 1 RBI), Joe Freiday (2 for 3). 
The Trojans will host the Durfee High Hilltoppers on Wednesday as they seek revenge for the May 9th, 7-6 stunnning loss, as Durfee scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 7th to upset the then undefeated Trojans. Probable starter is Junior RHP Jack Connolly.
