On March 7th, Our varsity Trojan’s baseball team took a stellar win over the Clinton Dark Horses leaving the score to an amazing 9-0 victory. The game took place on a cold friday evening at the Trojan’s home base. The Trojan’s immediately took control once they stepped on the diamond. Their offense was the only thing keeping the fans fired up on the chilly night. Junior Cooper Wilson did an oustanding job pitching. He threw a remarkable seventy-eight pitches. As well as Connor Wilkerson stepping in to contributing thirty-six pitches. In total they both threw one- hundred and fourteen pitches. The Trojan’s were relentless all the way through ending at the top of the seventh inning. In the first inning they scored four runs. As well as the 2nd inning they also scored four runs. Leaving the Trojan’s in the lead for the first and second inning with a score of 8-0. The score was 0-0 in the third inning. However the Trojans did score one more run in the fourth inning. That left the score at 9-0 with the Trojan’s in the lead. Both teams played for three more innings with no one scoring any runs. This left the Trojan’s to take their third lucky win of 9-0. The victory not only highlights the Trojan’s current ablilities but also sets a high standard for their games to come. As the season progresses, fan’s, coaches, and players will be eager to see if the Trojan’s can maintain this level of preformance that will continue their winning streak.
