Huggins No-Hitter Caps SCAC Weekend Sweep

Conway, Arkansas - The Tiger baseball team finished off a three-game SCAC weekend sweep with a no-hitter in a 10-0 win over Hendrix College on Sunday afternoon.

Chuck Huggins (5-1) struck out a career-high 13 batters through seven innings, allowing just three total base runners (two walks and one hit batter) in his no-hitter.  In his last appearance against the Warriors, Huggins just missed a no-hit bid in his one-hit shutout in San Antonio, striking out 10 - his previous career best mark. 

Trinity (26-9, 13-4) opened the game with a seven-run first inning, sending 12 players to the plate in the inning.  The team scored three more by the seventh to set up a run-rule victory over the Warriors. 

Johnny Baugus and Ryan Cavan (hitting 1-2 in the Tiger batting order) both finished 2-2 in the game.  Cavan had one run and two RBI, while Baugus scored two runs and drove in another.

Zach Fregosi also collected two hits for Trinity, scoring one run, and Blake Holman was 1-2 with one run, one RBI, and one walk in the game.

Trinity will travel to Georgetown, Texas, to face Southwestern next weekend in a three-game SCAC series that will conclude regular season conference play for the Tigers.  The team concludes its home schedule on April 18 and 19 in games against Texas Lutheran and Hardin-Simmons.
