Trinity Softball Swept in Season Opener

 

Houston, Texas - Trinity's softball team was swept in a season-opening doubleheader at Houston Baptist University on Wednesday afternoon, losing 8-0 in both games.

Trinity (0-2) was held without a hit in the opening game, but finished with five hits in game two.  The Tigers gave up seven runs in the first two innings of the first game - including a first-inning home run.  In game two, the teams played three scoreless innings before HBU managed a run.  Heading into the fifth, Trinity only trailed 2-0, but a six-run inning ended the doubleheader.

Sophomore Helen Thompson (0-2) made her Tiger debut, pitching both ends of the doubleheader. 

Caitlin Richards finished 1-3 for the day, hitting one of Trinity's two doubles on the afternoon in game two.  She also drew two walks in the two games.  Kate Wright was 1-4 with the other extra-base hit.

Trinity will return to action this weekend at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor.  The Tigers will make their home debut against UMHB on March 1.
