Tigers Fall to Tornados on Tuesday

Austin, Texas - The Tiger baseball team lost to Concordia (TX) University 6-9 on Tuesday night at Keller-Fasholz Field, snapping a two-game win streak.

Trinity (11-6) fell behind early after a two-run homer by Concordia in the bottom of the first inning.  The Tigers came back, though, with a single run in the third, followed by three runs total in the fifth and sixth innings to take a 4-2 lead. 

Concordia then exploded for a seven-run inning, taking control of the game.  Trinity added two runs in the eighth, but despite bringing the tying run to the plate in the ninth, the team couldn't extend the game.

Adam Frey (1-2) was charged with the loss, giving up eight runs on seven hits through 5.2 innings of work.  John Allen finished off the game, allowing one unearned run on six hits.  Frey also struck out seven hitters.

Johnny Baugus and Will Becker had two hits each for the Tiger offense, and Becker also led the team with two runs scored.  Andreas Verrios and Zach Fregosi were both 1-3 with one run and one RBI each.

Trinity returns home this weekend to take on Southwestern University in a two-game Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference series.  The teams will play at 1:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
