The Trojans improve to 2-0 as they make swift work of the Barnstable Red Raiders by a score of 2-0, in a game lasting roughly 90 minutes, at Hank Pearson Field. The Trojans were led heavily by a dominating pitching performance by Notre Dame bound Senior Captain Jack Connolly. Connolly threw 85 pitches over a complete game seven inning performance with 7Ks, 1 BB, 3 hits and two early infield assists to help his cause. Connolly helped his offense with scoring the second run of the game on a no out SAC Fly to center that almost left the park. BR's first run came across on an Error by Barnstable. The Trojans recorded 10 infield putouts, one double play, and caught two Red Raiders on the base paths. The Trojans were led offensively by Seniors Jon Livolsi, 2-3 with a double and Co-Captain Cory Wasylow, 3-3 with three singles and two Stolen Bases, as well as Junior Mikey Manning, going 1-1 with a SAC Fly and a walk with a run scored. A huge play for BR was in the Top of the 6th, when a ground ball up the middle made Senior Kyle Horsman layout and recover to his feet to turn a 6U-3 Double Play.
Coach Kearney on the win "Yet another solid effort by Jack Connolly ... who was in complete control ... very good defense led by Kyle Horsman, Matt Reagan, Jon Livolsi and Paul LaFond .... and offense keyed by Cory Wasylow, Jon Livolsi, and Mikey Manning ... great game and all-around effort by B-R against a good Barnstable team ...."
Jr. Matt Reagan had a solid effort behind home plate throwing out several runners.
The Trojans move to the lead in the Old Colony League with a solid opening record of 2-0. BR travels "over the bridge" to Cape Cod Saturday morning for a double-header matinée against Dennis-Yarmouth. Tentatively scheduled to start, and make his first appearance of the season, is Junior Chris Newman. Probable starter for game 2 is Junior Lefty Mikey Manning.
