Trinity Defeats Hendrix to Tie for Top Spot in SCAC Standings

Conway, Arkansas - Trinity's baseball team defeated Hendrix 13-1 to begin a three-game SCAC weekend, and pull into a tie for first place in the SCAC West Division.

Trinity (24-9, 11-4) fell behind 1-0 early, but tied the game through three innings.  In the fifth, the Tigers used an eight-run inning to take command of the game for good.  After a three-run eighth for Trinity, as well a scoreless bottom half of the inning, the game was ended because of a run-rule.

Johnny Baugus led the team with four runs and a 3-5 day at the plate, while Bobby Zabor's three RBI were tops on the team. 

Britton Horn earned the complete-game victory to improve to 3-1 this season.  Horn allowed just one unearned run on six hits, striking out two and allowing just one walk.

Blake Holman finished 2-4 with two runs and two RBI, while Will Becker also scored twice and drove in two additional runs. 

Ricky Welch was 2-4 with two runs, while Ryan Cavan and Nick Vera were both 2-5 on the afternoon  J.B. Sowyrda added a pair of RBI for the Tigers as well.

Trinity will face Rhodes College later this afternoon to conclude their SCAC regular season series.  The game will be played at Hendrix.  Tomorrow, the Tigers finish off the weekend with the series finale against Hendrix.
