The JV Trojans got off to a rough start in their non-conference match-up against Wilson West Lawn. After being shut down at the plate in the first inning, shaky defense in the bottom half of the first inning allowed Wilson to score three unearned runs and take the early 3-0 lead. Starting pitcher EJ Brandt (5 IP, 6 runs (1 earned), 3 SO, 1BB) pitched well trough his five innings of work, but the Trojans defense had its difficulties today allowing five unearned runs to score through five innings.
In the 3rd inning, the Parkland offense started coming around when John Amato (0-2, run, sb) reached base on an error. He then stole second base and Andrew Roth (2-4, 2 rbi, bb, sb) singled to score Amato. Kyle Novobilski (1-3, run) then singled, followed by an Austin Mueller (1-3, run, sac fly, 2 rbi) sacrifice fly to plate Roth. Kyle Friebolin (2-4, run, 2 rbi) singled to score Novobilski and tie the game at 3-3 after 3 innings of play. The Bulldogs took the lead right back in the 4th inning, scoring three runs on two hits, a walk and another Trojan fielding error. In the top of the 6th inning, Parkland cut the Bulldog lead to 6-4 when Michael Jenkins (1-3, 2 runs, 1 bb) singled and then advanced to second on a wild pitch. Pinch hitter Braeden Duff (2-2, run, 2 RBI) singled to plate Jenkins.
Duff (2 IP, run, 3 SO, HB) also came on to pitch in relief in the 6th inning, and worked a total of two innings allowing one run to score in the 6th inning. With the Trojans down by a score of 7-4 entering the top of the 7th inning, Parkland rallied when Tyler Ilgenfritz (1-3, run, bb) led off with a single followed by a Roth single. With runners on first and second, Mueller singled to drive in Ilgenfritz to cut the Bulldog lead to 7-5. Friebolin then knocked in Roth. Ben Trinkle (1-3, run, rbi, bb, sb) then came to the plate and hit a clutch RBI single to tie the game at 7-7. After a walk to Jenkins, Duff then came through in the clutch again with another RBI single to put the Trojans ahead 8-7. Duff later scored on an RBI fielders choice by Roth. The Trojans scored a total of 7 runs in the 7th to make it 11-7. Duff shut down the Bulldogs in the bottom of the 7th to complete the comeback.
