Trinity Opens Weekend Series With Win Over DeSales

San Antonio - The Tiger baseball team opened up a two-game weekend series with a 9-2 win over DeSales University on Friday night.

Trinity (7-4) opened up the scoring with three runs in the first, then added three more in the third before DeSales could get on the board.  The visitors scored twice in the third to cut into the lead, but the Tigers scored three more times in the seventh for the final score.

Trinity's Drew Bignall threw four solid innings in his first start of the 2008 season, striking out five and giving up just two runs on four hits.  Ryan Poffenroth (1-0) struck out four in four innings to earn the win. 

Evan Jones and Jordan Pennington nabbed two hits each for Trinity, with Jones driving in four runs in the game.  Pennington also drove in three runs and hit his team-leading third homer of the season. 

Kevin Calbick finished 3-4 with two runs scored, while Dillan Early was 2-4 with two runs as well.  Stosh Hoover drew three walks in the game, scoring twice for the Tigers.

Trinity and DeSales conclude the two-game series tomorrow afternoon.  The opening pitch is scheduled for 1:00 p.m., and the game will be webcast and videocast live.  Tomorrow's game will also feature live stats.
