Tigers Defeat Crusaders in Non-Conference Baseball Action

San Antonio - After the game was postponed 24 hours due to bad weather, the Trinity baseball team defeated the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor 11-3 on Wednesday night at E.M. Stevens Field.

Trinity (21-7) jumped out to a 7-1 lead thanks in large part to a five-run first inning.  The five-run first featured no earned runs allowed as Mary Hardin-Baylor committed three errors in the inning.

The Crusaders cut the lead to 7-3 after three innings, but Trinity added a pair of runs in both the seventh and eighth to finish the scoring.

Will Becker was 3-4 with one run and five RBI for the Tigers, while J.B. Sowyrda and Blake Holman added two hits each.  Sowyrda, named SCAC Player of the Week on Monday, also scored three runs and drew two walks. 

Holman also scored two runs, while Stosh Hoover contributed two RBI.

Ryan Hopkins (3-1) pitched six innings to earn the win, striking out four and allowing three runs on five hits.  Britton Horn and Adam Frey combined to finish the game, allowing no hits over the final three innings.

Trinity will travel to Millsaps for a two-game SCAC series over the weekend, and will return home in one week for a single game against Schreiner University at 2:00 p.m.
