In both games B-R was right there (1-1 in the fifth first game)4-3 in the sixth in the second game. The boys played hard.The separator is Mr. Righty and Mr. Lefty from Dartmouth. They were the story but with some seasoning (Cajon) we can change the outcome.

However, they were unable to stretch the lead, stranding 9 runners in scoring position throughout the course of the game. Pat Nee once again pitched well enough to win going five strong innings and allowing only two runs. Despite cruising through the fourth and fifth, the coach decided to turn to the bullpen in the sixth and the Trojans were unable to hold down the win. Freshmen: It was one of those windy days at B-R and one needed a golf club to drive the pearl over the fense.Three pitchers split the game 2, 2, 3 innings. Brockton played a nice game and gave the Trojans all they could handle. The next few weeks will dictate how the season will go.The question is are the baby Trojans going to be mentally prepared for the grind of their first high school baseball season.This team has no superstars but many good baseball players that must play hard and together to be successful.
5/5 Varsity vs Marshfield: JV: Freshmen: Josh Monson was in control for five innings and Ryan Bushlow came in the fifth. The big hitters Kevin Newton not related to Sir Isaiac. Also Will Burke spanked a triple in this 9 - 0 win.

Pat Nee and Chris Cream each had two hits for B-R, while Brian McSherry added two of his own, including a solo home run. Freshmen: Tyler Carey looked sharp at a tack today. The first inning the defense was shoddy but after it was a total team effort. The baby Trojans finally started to play defense again defeating the Tigers 6 - 2
4/30 Varsity vs Dartmouth: B-R came from behind to defeat Dartmouth in an exciting OCL game by a score of 8-7 in 8 innings ... Sean McCall (3 hits, 3 RBI, SB) hit a walk-off double to the left-centerfield gap that scored Brandon Hoyle (single) who was running from first on the pitch to win the game in extra innings ...

Pat Nee pitched six strong innings, while Tyler Glavin, Mike Clifford, Brian McSherry, and Dan NoViello led the offense. Freshmen: The game does not resemble the score. The first five innings took 45 minutes and the score was 1-1. It was a great pitchers duel. Both teams played well and the flood gates opened. Nine walks by the pitching staff and four hits scored 10 runs. The defense was good and all played hard. It was just baseball and practice for the pitchers for the walk-a-thon of choice which of course was Dartmouth. They certainly cashed the check.

Ryan MacSwain (RBI double) and Peterson (RBI single) each also had key hits. B-R is now 1-0 OCL and 5-4 overall. JV: Joe Sargent was absolutely masterful on the mound for the Trojans, going nine strong innings, allowing just four hits while striking out 13. However, the Barnstable staff was equally stingy and was able to hold the Trojans off the scoreboard for a full ten innings before finally scratching across a run of their own. Dan Noviello contributed two of B-R?s five hits on the day, with Eric DeMoura, Pat McKinnon, and Pat Nee also getting hits. Freshmen: Hope this day taught the boys a lesson of being mentally prepared to play a game or endeavor in their life. Barnstable flat out wanted it more, played harder, mentally executed, and beat the Trojans in every aspect of the game. This was a game that the Trojans should have won. The youngsters inexperience showed this whole day. I will give props to the second unit bringing the game close and showing the B-R pride that always exists and will exists. This pride is in all three programs lead by Head Coach Coach K.

Freshmen: It was a very productive day for the Trojans. Josh Monson pitched 6 innings and picked up another w and Patrick Whooley pitched the seventh. Jason Bernier played well at 1B and swung the lumber. Austin Bickford made two diamond gem plays.Ryan Irvine won the rock, paper, scissors battle and chipped in with two hits and a great play in right field. Jeff Thibault was solid in the field and is starting to come along as a hitter.
