Trinity Falls to Centre to Wrap Second Day of Tourney

Trinity (3-13) scored four runs in the first inning to take a 4-1 lead, thanks in large part to a two-out triple with the bases loaded by Karen Fisher, but Centre would not trail for long.

Centre started the third inning with a solo homer from Monica Vonderbrink, then added four more runs to take a 6-4 lead that the team would not give up. 

The Tigers answered the big inning with a run that cut the lead to just one, but Centre got that run right back in the top of the fourth.  Centre then added three more runs in the sixth to take full control of the game.

Michelle Gossein hit her third homer in the past two days to score two runs in the bottom of the seventh, but Trinity could muster no more against Centre.

With her fourth home run, Gossein tied Trinity's single season record.  She finished 2-3 with two runs and two RBI in the game.  Fisher was 1-3 with the three RBI for the Tigers.  Christina Carni and Jamie Williams collected three hits each in the loss, and Carni added two runs scored.

Karen Fisher gave up six runs - five of which were earned - through three innings, allowing eight hits and taking the loss.  Kate Wright had a hit and scored a run on offense, as well as holding Centre hitless over the final two innings of the game.

Trinity will face hosting Millsaps College in tomorrow's tournament action, followed by the tournament finale against LaGrange later tomorrow afternoon.
