Philip Myrick pitches a complete game and the Trojans provide plenty of run support to take the CCSL win over previously unbeaten Raleigh Private Schools 10-4. Ricky Martin collects two hits and a RBI for the Trojans (5-2). The Trojans strike for 3 each in the first three frames. Dillon Creech walks to lead off the Trojans first, steals second and moves to third on a balk. Jeremy Conyers drives him in. Martin singles, sending a hustling Conyers to third and he scores on Matt Powell's sacrifice fly. Myrick drives in Martin for 3-0 Garner lead. Jackson Pleasant ends an RPS threat in the 2nd, nailing a would-be base theft for the 3rd out, leaving a runner at third. Paco Martin slams a double off the centerfield wall to start the second. Pleasant reaches on an RPS error and Creech singles to load the bases. Conyers draws a walk to score Martin and Pleasant dashes home on a wild pitch. Ricky Martin reaches on a RPS miscue, a throw home with no force and the bases are stacked again. Myrick draws a walk to force in a run and its 6-0 Trojans. Raleigh gets 3 hits and two walks in the top of the third to make it 6-2 before the Trojans answer with three in the bottom of the inning, all with two out. In the inning, Creech is hit-by-pitch and gets his 2nd steal and heads home of a Gabe Chrismon RBI single. Chrismon scores, after a wild pitch to second, on an RPS error on Conyers smash to short. Conyers theft of second and scores on Ricky Martin RBI single to push the lead back to 9-2. Myrick disposes of RPS in order in the 4th and the Trojans plate their final run off the RPS reliever on Paco Martin's sacrifice fly as Myrick dashes home on a fly to very short right field and beats the throw home. RPS rallies for two in the seventh on 4 hits but a liner to Paco Martin at second ends the game, 10-2. The Trojans travel to Clayton Tuesday night:

Junior team gets back in the win column
The Junior team wins 11-5 over Broughton, collecting 11 hits and Cyle Nicely picks up the win in relief. CJ Schmitt, Brett Bailey and Colin Perry get two hits a piece as the Trojans go to 7-1 on the season. The Trojans play "small ball" early and often, starting with Matt Hawley scampers to first on a missed third strike and takes second on an errant pick off attempt. Colin Perry perfect sacrifice moves him to third and Hawley scores on Alec Hulmes RBI double. Bailey follows with a single. Bailey and Hulmes execute a perfect delayed double steal, scoring Alec from third. Schmitt drives in Bailey for a 3-0 Trojan lead. The Caps get a run in the 2nd packaging a walk, an error and one hit to make it 3-1. Andy Beck, Hawley and Perry lead off the Trojan second with consecutive singles and Beck scores on a Cap miscue. Hawley follows him to the plate, scoring on a wild pitch and its 5-1 Garner. Broughton plates a run in the 3rd and plates three in the fifth to knot the game at 5-5. The Trojans more than answer with 5 in their half, lead by Bailey's perfect bunt single and keeps running, catching the Caps not covering 2nd base. A Cap boot of a Wil Norris smash to short puts runners at the corners and Schmitt doubles to drive in Bailey. Connor Torruella single re-loads the bases and Norris scores on Acquil Sanders ground out. The fourth Cap error on Beck's rip to short makes it 8-5. Perry plates two with his RBI single for a 10-5 Trojan lead. Norris completes the scoring when he walks and is given second when the fourth ball ends up in the Trojan dugout. Schmitt moves him to third and he scores on a Cap balk. The Caps leave the bases loaded in the 7th, with Hawley, in relief of Nicely, striking out two. Starter Colin Perry pitched 4 innings but was not involved in the decision
