Tigers Snap Five-Game Losing Streak With Win Over Bulldogs

San Antonio - Trinity's baseball team returned home after a 10-game road trip, snapping a five-game losing streak with a 10-3 win over Concordia (NE) University.

Trinity (6-9) opened the scoring with a run in the bottom of the first, but neither team managed any other runs until the fourth.  The Tigers scored four runs in that inning, followed by a three-run sixth to pull ahead 8-0.  Concordia scored three combined runs in the seventh and eighth, but Trinity also added a pair of eighth-inning runs for the final score.

Tiger starter Evan Bronson (1-2) had a solid outing, giving up no runs on just two hits through six innings, striking out nine batters.  Ryan Poffenroth struck out the side in his only inning of work, closing out the game in the ninth.

Andrew Lawson was 2-4 with two runs and two RBI, giving him five hits in his last two games.  Lawson had his second double in as many games as well, driving in two runs in the fourth.

Bobby Zabor also had a pair of hits for the Tigers, driving in three runs and scoring once - that score coming in the first inning.  Andreas Verrios scored twice, reaching base twice on walks in this game.

Trinity improves to 2-0 at home this season, having beaten Mary Hardin-Baylor in the team's only other home game earlier in the year.  The Tigers remain at home this weekend to take on Hendrix College in a four-game Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference series.
