Bobby Chatfield records 100th career win
Wolcott traveled to Litchfield where Bobby Chatfield was on the hill attempting for his 100th win for at least the 4th or 5th time. He was finally successful in doing so going 5 innings giving up 3 hits and strike out 4, in a 5-0 win. On a night where the vibes for the Trojans were flowing at a season high, it was really a night for the old heads at Community. Where Casey McDonald was running the bases like he was 17 again going 1-3 with double and a run scored. Danny McCarty stretched the lead in the 3rd inning with a bases clearing single scoring 3 runs. He and the rest of the team are still trying to figure out how he only managed a single. The youth for the Trojans showed out in the last two innings with Miles Wilson picking up a hit and Peyton Thomas going the last two innings striking out 3 and giving up no hits.
