Late Score Costs Trenton After Late Charge from AA Father Gabriel Richard

Saturday’s game against AA Father Gabriel Richard was a heartbreaker for Trenton, as they lost the lead late In a 3-2 defeat. The game was tied at 2 in the T6 when Jacob Hamming doubled, scoring one run.

Trenton lost despite out-hitting AAFGR 5 to 3. Ashton Rooney, Josh Pippin, Zach DeChane, Caleb Kidd, and Zack Hitchcock each collected a hit for the Trojans.

A ground out by Caleb Renfer put AAFGR on the board in the T1.

Luke Pafaffenbach started on the hill for the Fighting Irish, allowing 3 hits and 2 runs over 3.2 innings, striking out 1 and walking 4.

Rooney and Pippin each drove in runs for Trenton.

Trenton had multiple opportunities to take control of the game.  A botched suicide squeeze in the B4 kept a run off the board.  The run would’ve tied the game at 2-2. In the B5, a Trenton runner was called out after scoring, with the umpire ruling the runner missed 3rd base on a popup slide. This would’ve given Trenton a 3-2 lead with no outs!
