Trinity Finishes Season Series With Rhodes Saturday

Conway, Arkansas - Trinity's baseball team finished off its season series with Rhodes College on Saturday afternoon at Hendrix College, winning 6-4 to take four of five games this season.

Trinity (25-9, 12-4) took the early lead with a three-run first inning, made possible by a three-run homer by senior J.B. Sowyrda.  Sowyrda finished 2-4 in the game, also hitting a double for the Tigers.

Drew Bignall (5-2) earned the win with eight strong innings, giving up just four runs on eight hits, and striking out four batters.  Adam Frey earned his second save of the year, striking out two in a flawless ninth.

Rhodes cut the lead to one with a two-run second, but the Tigers answered with a pair of runs in the second to make it 5-2.  The Lynx chipped away at the lead, scoring one run in the fourth and sixth innings.  Trinity added an insurance run in the ninth to secure the victory.

Johnny Baugus led the team with three hits in five at-bats, while - in addition to Sowyrda - two other players had two hits in the game.  Nick Vera was 2-4 with one run scored, while Zach Fregosi finished 2-3 with a run scored.

The Tigers will conclude the weekend with a single game against Hendrix tomorrow afternoon.  The team will travel to Southwestern next weekend for a three-game SCAC series.
