The Trojan JV team ran into an Emmaus starting pitcher who was on top of his game and the end result was in favor of the Hornet squad. With 4 runs in the bottom of the first, the Emmaus JV team took a lead off of starting pitcher Nikhil Patel, who pitched better than the score indicated. With 6 strikeouts over his first 3 innings, when Nikhil was on, he was tough to hit. Some key errors and a key hit by the Emmaus starting pitcher put the Trojan 9 quickly in the hole. The Emmaus Pitcher, Waller had a perfect game going into the 5th inning when Drew Sorrentino hit a bomb into the deep left centerfield corner as he legged out a triple. On a 2 strike pitch, Owen Lehr drove him home with a single. Other than a 7th inning single by Parker Swartz, the Trojans just could not manage to get any kind of an edge on the Emmaus pitching staff as they had 11 strikeouts and only 3 hits for during this sunny afternoon at Church Field. The relief pitching performance of Joe Algard was a bright spot as he only gave up 2 hits and no run in his 3 innings on the mound. You can’t win them all and when the other team has a dominant pitching performance by one of their own, the odds were against the JV Squad. The goal is now to put this 6 to 1 loss behind them as with the rescheduling of games, the Trojans have 8 more games over the next 12 days to regain the momentum that they had during the previous week.
