Tigers Beaten by Mount Union to Finish Tournament

Trinity (8-6) finished 4-2 in the tournament, and today's loss came in the consolation finals of the Gold Bracket.

The Tigers fell behind early as Mount Union scored an unearned run in the first inning, but the team rallied with runs in the second and third innings to take a 2-1 lead.  Mt. Union regained the lead with a pair of runs in the fifth, also adding an insurance run in the sixth.

Erin Mulvey was charged with the loss, though she allowed just one earned run (three total) on five hits in five innings.  Mulvey struck out six without walking a batter. 

Christina Carni was 1-3 with her first career home run for the Tigers.  The homer came with one out in the second and tied the game 1-1 at the time.

Kristin Yurasits finished 2-3 and six other players had one hit for Trinity.  Mulvey scored the team's second run, driving in by Michelle Gossein. 

The Tigers return to action on March 20, playing host to Midland Lutheran University in a doubleheader that will start at 5:00 p.m.  That will start a 10-game home stand by the Tigers, who have played just four games at home so far this season.
