The Trojans opened the season struggling at the plate, surrendering 15 strikeouts at the plate. Jake DeJoode was the star on both sides of the plate. DeJoode finished one for three with an RBI double, and only surrendered three hits on the mound. With the loss, Pleasantville drops to 0-1 on the young season.
