BR jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the bottom of the first, batting around the order and then some, sending11 Trojan hitters to the plate Recording 6 Hits, 2 Walks, and a fielders choice.
On the hill for the The Trojans was their Junior Southpaw Mikey Manning who entered the game 2-0 with 18 Ks in 12 innings of work and started where he left off sitting down the first six Harbormen he faced with 5 strikeouts! Manning's only hiccup occurred in the top of the 3rd, where he allowed a lead off single that would later score. 
Manning recovered from the run and shut down the next six Harbormen he faced with 3Ks and a 1-6-3 double play. Line Card for the Trojans starter 5 innings with 74 pitches, recording 10Ks, 3Hits and an earned run.
The Trojans added one more run in the bottom of the 5th as the bottom of BRs lineup came through. Senior Kyle Horsman and Junior Nick Andrews (RBI) hit two back to back doubles increasing the Trojan lead to 6-1.
Coach Kearney turned to Junior Chris Newman to finish things up for the Trojans. Newman, coming off a no decision start versus Dennis - Yarmouth on April 18th, breezed through the 6th and gave up a lead off double followed by a strikeout.The Harbormen would score a meaningless run in the 7th before Chris Newman rallied back to record his 4th strikeout in relief followed by a groundout (6-3) to end the game and the Trojans rolled to victory. Newman went 2 innings throwing just 26 pitches recording 4Ks, 2Hits and a run.
Coach Kearney commenting on his deep pitching staff
“Jack Connolly and Andrew Noviello are one and one-A,” said Kearney. “So far this year he’s been our number three but for a while he was our number two before Noviello came back. We didn’t have Noviello for our first couple of games.
“Mike and Chris Newman could be even at three-four or four-three. We have another kid, P.J. Walsh, who pitched great last week against New Bedford (B-R beat the Whalers 3-1) in that Plymouth North tournament. (i.e. the Brad Martin Tournament). We feel we have five solid starters."
“He loves baseball and he’s a great kid. He could be the number one for a lot of teams, I think.” Quipped Kearney of his Junior southpaw.
Offensively for the Trojans: Senior Captain Jack Connolly went 2-3 with two singles and a RBI. Senior Kyle Horsman went 1-3 with a double and a fielders choice RBI. Junior Nick Andrews went 2-3 with a single and double as well as 2 RBIs.
The Trojans hope to continue their winning ways as they host Lincoln-Sudbury on Tuesday April 28th. Probable starter is Notre Dame commit Jack Connolly (2-0).
