TRUMBULL — Opening day presents the first competitive opportunity for assessment, and what strengths a particular squad may have, expected or not.
Turns out St. Joseph’s experienced offense is as potent as voters believed.
Charlie Pagliarini belted a pair of home runs — including the tie-breaking smash in the bottom of the sixth, and the Cadets opened 2019 with a 6-4 win over defending SWC champion Bethel Saturday afternoon. St. Joseph began the season ranked No. 4 in the opening GameTimeCT Top 10 Poll with high expectations thanks to a bevy of talented seniors.
