Trinity Swept by D-II St. Mary's Thursday

Trinity (4-4) lost 8-0 and 11-3 in two games that were shortened due to the run rule.  The Tigers are now 0-4 against non-Division III opponents this season.

Sophomore Kate Wright hit her first career home run in the fifth inning of game two, driving in all three of Trinity's runs.  Wright was 2-3 in that second game.

Erin Mulvey (2-2) took the loss in the opening game, while Jillian Degerness (2-1) was charged with her first loss of the season in game two.  Both pitchers recorded a pair of strikeouts. 

Caitlin Richards pinch-hit for Trinity to lead off the fifth inning of game two, and cracked a double - her first career hit, which came in her first plate appearance of the season.

Jamie Williams had the only hit of game one for the Tigers, extending her hitting streak to seven games to start the year; however, that streak came to an end in game two as she went 0-2 with a walk.

Trinity will not play again until next Friday (March 9) when it begins play at the NFCA Leadoff Classic, in Panama City, Florida.  The Tigers will take on St. Mary's (MN) to open the tournament.
