In the 4th inning, John Amato (1-2, 1 R, 1 SB) led off with a single, then stole second.   Kyle Novobilski (2-4, 2 RBI, run) then followed with a single.   After an error, two hit batters and a walk, Duff doubled to score two more runs to put the Trojans up 9-0.  In the 5th,  Parkland scored 7 runs with 2 out when Austin Mueller (1-2, run) singled.   Kyle Friebolin (1-3, 2 runs, HBP) reached base with an infield single, and after two  walks, Duff then doubled with the bases loaded to right field to clear the bases and drive in three more runs. The Trojans were not done yet as Tyler Iglenfritz (2-4, run, RBI) singled, followed by an RBI single by Tanner Vitovitch (1-1, run, RBI) and an RBI double by Kyle Novobilski to end the game for the 16-0 JV Trojan win.
