TRINITY CATHOLIC: Marchionda hurls no-hitter for Falcons By Staff reports Daily News Tribune Posted May 07, 2009 @ 01:35 AM Junior starter Mike Marchionda needed just 85 pitches for his first career no-hitter as the Trinity Catholic baseball team reached double-digits in victories with a 7-0 blanking of the Parker School yesterday. Marchionda allowed just a fifth-inning walk and was helped by flawless defense.??``He pitched fantastic,'' said TC coach Craig Genualdo. ``He came through bigtime today. He pitched a lot of first-pitch strikes and kept them off balance. He had the best curveball that he's had all season.'' Trinity scored four runs in the fourth inning on only one hit to break the game open. Sophomore John Sergi walked, stole a base and scored on a single from sophomore Kevin McAdam. Junior Sean Moccia and senior Bobby Greenwood walked to load the bases and Marchionda hit an RBI fielder's choice. Senior Marc Leger's sacrifice fly made it 6-0.

The Falcons (10-2) host Maimonides tomorrow. Softball Trinity 13, Pope John 11 The Trinity Catholic softball team struck for four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to hold off Pope John in a Catholic Central League victory at Cabot Park. The Falcons gave up the lead in the top of the sixth when Pope John scored four runs, but sophomore Kathryn Haggstrom's pinch-hit RBI single highlighted Trinity's rally the other way. ``Pope John really came out to play today,'' said TC coach Troy Turick. ``We mercy-ruled them the first time we played, but they were a much different team this time around.??``I'm really proud of our girls. After a bitter loss to South Shore Christian Academy on Friday, the girls bounced back and got the win.'' The Falcons were coming off a 9-8 loss to SSC in which they led with two outs in the seventh, but gave the game away on two errors. ``It was disheartening,'' Turick said, ``but that is why this win was so important for us.'' Senior pitcher Molly Stone had a complete game, junior second baseman Hannah McCaffrey went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, a walk and RBI, senior center fielder Juliette Noonan walked four times and had three runs and four stolen bases and sophomore third baseman Nicole Civitarese had a hit, run, three walks and three RBI.
