Homer Trojans Baseball 5/10
Neil Malakar
The Trojans baseball team faced CBA on Tuesday, May 10, commencing the latter half of their season. This was the second time the two sides had met this year, only this time the stakes were higher as it was a league game. Vindictive after their 4-1 loss to Homer the first time around, the CBA squad looked to get on the scoreboard early. They managed to score three times in the first inning off of errors made by Homer. The visitors immediately retaliated with two runs in the bottom of the first, and equalized later, in the third inning. Evan Ulrich started for Homer as he did the last time they faced CBA, staying solid as he worked through the Brothers’ batting order. After the hosts made a pitching change in the fourth inning, Homer managed to tally on another five runs with offensive help from Storm Grant, Brandon Grant, Beck Lundeen, Joey Tummino, and Peter Davis. The game ended with a score of 8-3 after Casey Hayes came in to relieve and close the win for Ulrich. After this win, the Homer Trojans solidified their spot in Sectionals for the year, with an overall record of 6-6.
