Wauwatosa West Boys Baseball begin their season with a loss against Brookfield Central with a final score of 15-4

BOTTOM LINE: The Trojans had a tough start, mental errors plagued the team from the beginning. The team had a number of solid at bats which led them to 4 runs but it was too late to mount a comeback. 

HIGHLIGHTS: 

• In the first inning, Ben Janowski made a number of tough plays from third base to get off to a good start
• Later in the game, fielding errors and past balls allowed the Trojans to capitalise and score their first runs of the season
• In the final innings, 

WHAT’S NEXT?: Monday April 7th, the Trojans face Muskego for a non-conference game where they will look for their first win of the season.

PLAYER’S THOUGHT: “There was a number of mental errors today, it was the first game of the season and we simply didn’t have the right mindset, got in our own heads and that caused us to let up a lot of runs early” said Junior Devin Townsend.

OUR THOUGHTS:  Starting a season with a loss is tough but the team was missing a number of star players due to preseason injuries. Brookfield Central is strong team this year with a number of star players contributing to them being ranked 1st in the greater metro standings. The late comeback runs against the #1 ranked team gives us hope for the rest of the season given that the Trojans were not at their best. In order for the Trojans to get the wins they are looking for they will need each player to be at their best and get rid of their mental errors early on. 

FOR THE BOOKS: 2 losses on the season
