Hot Bats Lead Trojans over the Boxers

  The Trojans bats were booming, on Wednesday afternoon, as they rolled to a 21-11 victory over the Brockton High Boxers at Campanelli Stadium to notch their 10^th win of the season.

            The Trojans scored first in the Top of the 1^st with a booming lead-off double by Sophomore Colin Trahon. It was a 320ft shoot off the top of the outfield wall near the bullpens at Campanelli Stadium.  Trahon scored on an RBI single by DH Jack Connolly. 

            On the mound for the Trojans was Junior PJ Walsh, getting his second start of the season. Walsh let up a single to right-center to the Boxers lead-off hitter. “It wasn’t what I planned on doing letting the first guy on base obviously because he was the fastest on the team and having him on base is worrisome,” Walsh said about letting up the base-hit. PJ rebounded by getting a fly-out to right and two fielder’s choices groundouts.

            The Boxers kept BR quiet in the 2^nd    but opened it more in the 3^rd, scoring 4 more runs off two hits. One of those hits was a long time waiting for Junior Infielder Nick Andrews, who was battling hard at the plate the past couple games and he  delivered a two-out 3RBI bases clearing triple and the Trojans lead was 7-0 after 2 ½ inns.

            The Boxers wanted to join the fun in the bottom of the 3^rd and they did. Walsh allowed 4Hits and 5 Runs, none of which were earned, as the Trojans defense looked a bit shaky making a few mental errors.

            This game just kept getting more interesting as the Trojans batted 15 times in the top of the 4^th, plating 10 runs off 5Hits and 6 walks. One hit being a Noviello 2RBI triple, who went 3-5 on the afternoon and Br's lead was increased to 17-7 after 4.

Walsh went 4 innings throwing 81 pitches allowing 7 hits, 7 runs, 0 earned and 3Ks. PJ said on his start, “The second varsity win was big… Even though I had a bad inning the team came right back out and gave a lot of run support... Having good and bad innings is all part of the learning experience and getting better.” He advanced to 2-0 on the 2015 season.

Trojans had 15 hits, 10BBs, and only struck out 4 times. Trojans turned to a young arm in Sophomore Mike DiBari to pitch 2 innings of work, before going with Junior Alex McGrath in the 7^th  to close the game out.

The Trojans advance to 10-1 on the season and their busy week continues as they host the Durfee High Hilltoppers at 4PM at Hank Pearson Field.
