Tigers Beat Mary Hardin-Baylor to Open Easton Classic

Trinity (1-2) opened the game's scoring with two runs in the first and never relinquished the lead.  After allowing an unearned run in the bottom of the first, the Tigers then scored three more times in the third to take control of the game.

Helen Thompson (1-2) pitched a complete game, giving up two unearned runs on six hits, and striking out four batters. 

Juniors Kate Wright and Jamie Williams finished with two hits each, while senior Michelle Gossein also finished 2-4 in the game.  Williams had an RBI single in the first to turn the game's leadoff walk into a run.  Wright and Williams also had doubles in the game, and Wright also stole a base for the Tigers.

First-year Sylver Monaco keyed a three-run third with a two-run single that scored both Karen Fisher and Caitlin Richards.  Richards was 1-2 with one run and one RBI, as well as drawing a pair of walks.

Trinity faces UT-Tyler later this afternoon to continue the tournament.  UT-Tyler is also serving as tournament hosts for the two-day event.
